Course designed and taught using a Mad Studies lens to 4th year undergraduate social work students.

This essay presents a workshop-based and process-focused community performance project through a mad studies lens-that is, through a multi-vocal, multi-perspective knowledge creation centering on psychiatric survivors' experiences. In the performance experiments at the heart of this essay, we are strangers, meeting at the site of a working mental asylum, Bethlem Royal Hospital in Greater London-Bedlam, one of the oldest institutions of mad confinement and treatment.

The focus of T7102 is on the knowledge and processes of direct social work practice generic to all theoretical perspectives and modalities of helping. The purpose of the course is to extend and deepen the direct practice knowledge and skills to which students are introduced in the first foundation course (T7100). It is expected that by the second semester of study, students who have completed 300 hours of a field practicum are more able to observe, direct, and monitor their use of self in the intervention process and to begin reflectively analyzing their practice. Emphasis is placed on selecting, carrying out, and evaluating appropriate interventions based on differential assessment of the person/situation dynamic. In addition to the core themes below, several framing commitments are essential aspects of T7102. These include but are not limited to: · Evidence-based practice · Critical thinking and decision making · Cultural competence · Social work practice ethics Although the content of T7102 may reiterate some material introduced in T7100, the focus of learning in the second semester is conceptual and analytic, rather than basic familiarity with course content.

At the core of this progression of learning in the second semester is the development of critical thinking and decision-making skills that can be applied in all aspects of practice. Core Themes of T7102 The following are core themes addressed in the content of this course:
