Integrated social work refers to the use of :
a holistic approach in the practice of social work
Integrated social work, also called the generalist or unitary approach, emerged when theorists such as Pincus and Minahan, and Goldstein, argued that casework, group work and community organisation should not be practised as separate compartments.
Instead, the worker looks at the client system as a whole, assesses the person in the environment and then draws on whichever methods, levels and skills the situation requires. This is a holistic way of seeing and serving people.
Merely adding up all techniques, or applying any two of them, is a mechanical mix rather than integration, and psychoanalysis is only one theoretical orientation used in casework, not the meaning of integrated practice.
Hence, a holistic approach in the practice of social work.
