This fifth of 14 curriculum modules in the Family and Community Services Occupational Education Modules series deals with the helping process. It explores the social concept of helping and provides student experiences to enable them to practice certain helping skills, including problem identification, diagnosis, prognosis, treatment planning, implementation of treatment, and evaluation. An important focus is value analysis. Each of the five competencies covered in this module encompasses a number of objectives, suggested strategies for student experiences, and references and resources. Supplemental material for strategies, such as handouts, self-evaluation devices, and case studies, are found in the appendix. Other materials include an achievement test with answer key and matrix indicating competencies tested with Bloom's taxonomy level for items. (YLB)
