TEN TIPS WHEN THE SOCIAL WORKER IS AT YOUR DOOR

4) The same rule applies whenever an officer of the court,
be it a social worker, police officer, or deputy sheriff,
wants you to do anything against your will.
You cannot be made to "report to the office" of the social worker
or to "bring your children in for an interview" without being served with a court order.
Only a judge or magistrate, presented with evidence that you have committed a crime,
can issue an order that you are obligated to obey.

Content in casework usually consists of what family members say to the worker or to each other.
Content includes facts about problems, and descriptive information about family members and the situation.
The content of verbal communication is the strict, logical implication of the words.
However, it is only part of the communication.
Very often, the content of verbal interactions can actually block or obscure communication rather than clarify it.

• Process in casework includes the observable dynamics of behaviors, interactions, and feelings (affect).
It includes nonverbal behaviors, such as tone of voice, body posture, and facial expressions;
emotive or affective responses;
interactions between family members, or between the worker and family members;
and family members’ expressed feelings about the problem or situation.

In any communication, the content may not be consistent with the process message (the nonverbal, affective or behavioral one).

When a verbal and a nonverbal message are inconsistent in their meaning, the nonverbal one is almost always more accurate.
