Why the social worker-client relationship is so crucial?

Welcome.

Thanks!

The extent to which relationships develop within social work is fairly consistent across the prominently used theories and methods. The ability of the social worker to focus on the client’s strengths and abilities and to exhibit professional competence leads to a positive social worker-client relationship. To be a competent social worker, one must have a knowledge and understanding of various social work theories and methods, and their application to various clients and social work situations.
