Course FormatLecture 4.0 h + Seminar 0.0 h + Lab 0.0 h
Credits3.0

Knowledge of theoretical perpectives used in social work and gerontology are vital to effective social service practice with older adults. In this course, students explore various therapeutic theories and modalities related to stages of aging. They learn about the role of theory and its relationship to ideology, as well as the links between social values, theory, and practice. Students critique a range of social work and aging theories to build a foundation for critical, anti-oppressive social service practice.

Registration in this course is restricted to students admitted to the Diploma in Gerontology.

Prerequisite(s): A minimum "C-" grade in GERO 2100; or permission of the program coordinator.
