Option 1 Discussion:
After reading about task-centered practice and problem-solving approach, respond to any of the following:
Helen Harris Perlman, one of the creators of  the problem-solving approach [AKA Social Casework] once said, “That person, with his subjective reading of and reaction to his problems, must also be his own problem solver.” What do you suppose she meant when she said this?
How does viewing the problem in smaller tasks enhance the likelihood of solving the problem?
Provide some examples of how breaking down a large problem into smaller, more manageable tasks can help make the ultimate goal more achievable?
From a practice standpoint, discuss how you might use the task-centered model and/or and problem-solving approach in your own practice.
In your readings related to task-centered practice, identify situations/circumstances where task-centered work would be empirically supported as a practice approach?
