Chapter 1

Chapter Review Questions:
1) A generalist approach is very flexible and tries to use different theories and methods when trying to help a client deal with their problems.
2)Eclecticism is necessary for being an effective human services worker because it uses a variety of models and interventions to deal with clients which is important because some clients may have a few problems and one method may not solve all of their problems.
3)Differences between an intern, volunteer, and an employee are that volunteers are not paid, an intern may or may not be paid, and an employee is paid. Another difference is a volunteer does it because they truly want to help people, where as an intern may want to help, but it may also be a part of a course credit. Also, the three different types of workers do different kind of jobs. A similarity between an intern, volunteer, and an employee is that they all are they to help their clients.
4)Two reasons to work in human services is to have a sense of pride and have a variety of job duties
5) Two reasons not to work in human services are to meet your own emotional needs and to be able to control people.

This week I learned exactly what Human Services is and different jobs that they may work at.
