Document Summary
**feedback loops review and evaluate each stage of the problem solving process (each step). Possibly implementing changes in problem definition, assessment, goal setting, and/or intervention to ensure that problem solving system is in line with goals. Process of problem solving in social work: define the problem(s, conduct the assessment, set goals and objectives, establish a contract, intervene, evaluate the process, end the process. Defining the problem: (if the mother was your client ) - video. Ask the client what she sees as the problem and what she thinks are the problems. You need to define the problem in a way that you, as the social worker, and your client (the mom, in this case) can both agree to understand. This means understanding the problem through the client"s story it is only through their stories that you can begin to formulate your own opinion on the nature of the problem.
