research in the field.
The task-centered model has been used in various settings and has been proven to work efficiently. According to Brooks and Cole, The task-centered model is defined as a social work practice model developed by William Reid and Laura Epstein. The model’s contribution to social work practice is the specific focus on problems of concern identified by the client and its emphasis on tasks and the collaborative responsibilities between the client and the social worker. The model ultimately theory was made to keep clients actively involved in the primary problem of the conversation and for resist clients to improve their availability to stay focus (Brooks and Cole 2013, 2010).
The techniques used for this approach were in family setting, case management, health care and many more. The model has exemplified some great progress within individuals, groups, and families. Imagine this, if a person was drinking every day, all day. The task model would come in to play with the client and the Social worker agreeing to work together. Secondly, the Social worker and the client make general task and specific task. The task would reflect the drinking problem by the Social worker and the client making task to slow down the drinking to twice or three times a day instead of all day. The process would finally end with the Social worker monitoring the progress of the client. The client that was drinking all day would be examined on his or her ability to drink less. The task-centered approach mainly is used for substance abuse problems, although it is used for other problems. The model is used for all ages. Raushi, in his article, uses it for single mothers in college. Caspi, J. uses it for the field aspect of the profession. Brooks and Cole Empowerment Series: Direct Social Work Practice, 9th Edition book uses it with all types of Social work settings. The approach was used for everyone it was need for. Even though the main aim for this approach is for clients who are from “poor, racial and ethno cultural minority groups (Brooks and Cole 2013, 2010), the racial and cultural background of people does not matter. There has been plenty research done on the task-centered model like the two example I have given in my paper. The studies of these individuals have proven to work effectively in these analysis and research. With other strategies put in place, the Task-centered model can work for all types of groups in society.
