Empowering Students to Empower Others: A Community-Based Field Practicum.

Richan, Willard C.

Journal of Social Work Education, v25 n3 p276-83 Fall 1989

In a field practicum based in a low-income community, social work students' sense of empowerment depended on the kind of feedback they received from others. The critical source of feedback was the field instructor. A field setting with limited structural supports is liberating to most students but overwhelming for some. (Author/MSE)
