Describe pathological or inept social workers
What will be an ideal response?
Despite educational preparation, some social workers demonstrate behavior that lacks the values and basic tenets of a helping relationship-for example, a lack of empathy or being in tune with those seeking their help; a lack of genuine and authentic concern; and a lack of appreciation of different beliefs, lifestyles, and values. Their inept behavior may be attributed to anxiety, a lack of skill or experience, dealing with a problem beyond their scope of practice, or an inability to build collaborative relationships with clients. Ineptness and unethical practices on the part of social workers, such as being abrasive, egotistical, controlling, judgmental, demeaning, patronizing, or rigid, can cause an appropriate negative reaction from clients. Ineptness is a serious concern that calls for corrective behavior on the part of the social worker, through supervision, skill development, or self-reflection.
