when functioning as a observer, a SW can take many roles including :

1. SW can be complete participant= living the experience as a participant. 2. SW can be participants as observer: interacting with those who are participating. 3. SW can be observer as a participant : limited relationship with others participating primarily observer. 4. complete observer-removed from activity just observing **observation is also a method used in scientific inquiry to collect data.

How do you obtain sensitive information from client?

1. start with asking open-ended and nonthreatening questions. to gather needed background and get client to talk this way you build trust with client. 2. SW should watch out how the client is acting verbal and nonverbal. client may avoid eye contact and laugh when nervous. (when this happens repeat the questions slowly) 3. when a client is in a couple/group or family therapy the client may worry saying sensitive things in front of people when this happens figure out if the person should be in an individual therapy where they can share everything alone with the SW. 4. clients will disclose sensitive pritvate info if they think the SW will accept and be neutral in judging them.

Sw should ask for feedback in difficult circumstances not just when things are neutral or positive. it can be tempting to only ask for feedback from people who will say something positive. sometimes the best learning can be from those who will be critical. talking through difficult feedback in supervision is important.

4. Feedback is especially critical at key decision points (such as when transferring or closing cases.) 5. it is important to guard against influencing people to respond in a particular way; this influence may be unintentional, because a sw may have more influence or power than the individual from whom feedback is south out. 6. confidentiality should be respected if the informant wants it. 7. Always be clear about why feedback is needed and what will be done with the information.

8. Documentation of feedback is very important. 9. be aware that the feedback may be very different depending upon when it solicited. it is critical to realize how recent events may have influenced information received. getting feedback repeatedly at several different times may be needed to see if response differs. 10. make sure communication is appriate for your client. for younger clients they might want texting emails or online meetings but with older generation they might want face to face. avoid jargons so that communication is clear. that also includes languges cultures of clients as well.
