SOCIAL-WORKER AS CLIENT - MY EDUCATION AS A FAMILY MEMBER IN A NURSING-HOME

A social worker’s professional experience in providing a service does not necessarily ease her own personal stress when she is the recipient of that same service. The author is a nursing home social worker whose own mother was a resident in the facility where she works. Her first-hand experience with the ‘system’ and with her emotions brought new enlightenment to the practice of her profession. © 1991 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
