Master's Degree Program

Spatial and Clinical Social Work

part-time

 
 

Spatial and Clinical Social Work

The degree program builds specific action skills and social work research skills. It offers two unique specializations: socio-spatial orientation and clinical social work.

Clinical social work deals with the connection between social problems and health-related well-being. The addressees are often confronted with multiple challenges. In practice, clinical social workers work in almost all fields of social work, which highlights the diversity of this discipline. As part of psychosocial counseling and treatment, clinical social workers carry out, amongst other things, social diagnostics, intervention planning and their evaluation. Clinical social work interventions are fundamentally aimed at stabilizing or restoring social participation.

Spatial social work focuses on the development and implementation of socio-spatial concepts and projects as well as the design of social spaces, including outreach and low-threshold social work, open child and youth work, assistance for the homeless, and community and district work. In spatial social work, we not only work directly with the addressees of social work, but also with the media and stakeholders in administration and politics.

      Before the studies

      You are willing to participate in scientific discourse in your areas of expertise. If you decide on spatial social work you are sociopolitically interested, open to new ideas and approach issues analytically. You want to move on the structural level and identify social problems in their political, legal and socio-structural contexts. In clinical social work, it is important to you to help individuals in problem and conflict situations or people who are mentally impaired, disabled or at risk of or involved in exclusion, to deal with their life situation and improve it.

      During the studies

      We focus on cooperation in our teaching and research. We work closely with research institutions for social work to offer internship positions throughout Austria. You will have the opportunity to participate in professional conferences or "Social Work in Practice" networking meetings, which is regularly held at FH Campus Wien, as well as to gather research experience in projects. At our campus we have our own Research Center Social Work which acts as an interface between research, practice and teaching. An R&D project that combines spatial and clinical social work is AGORA, a joint project with the European Center for Social Welfare Policy & Social Research and FH St. Pölten: This project especially benefits the homeless, whose frequent use of alcohol and drugs pose health risks. Police, social workers and other occupational groups that shape public space must improve their cooperation and coordination so that together they can set efficient health-promoting measures.

      Clinical social work and spatial social work are academic degree programs that are unique in Austria. Spatial social work uses qualitative methods to examine the qualities, meanings and functions of formal and informal places and spaces in order to develop new offerings. It is essential that the users themselves are involved as experts for their own living environment. Spatial social work is being taken into account more and more often, also in urban planning where it is leading to widespread change: In Vienna, entire neighborhoods are being redeveloped, like those around the main railway station or the Aspern airfield. Spatial social work can play a role in every field of activity for social work. In contrast, clinical social work is a specialized discipline.
      It is internationally recognized and closes the gap between social and health systems. In addition to physical and mental health, the World Health Organization (WHO) explicitly defined social well-being as the third pillar of health. More and more people who need the support of social workers suffer from socially induced illnesses. In your case professional case management is important, in other words it is not just about providing counseling and acute medical care for individuals, but organizing a coherent support system.

      You will decide to specialize in either Spatial or Clinical Social Work. In both specializations you will deepen your knowledge of scientific theory and research.

      • You will be intensively concerned with social work science, practical professional social work as well as quantitative and qualitative social research. You will deal with the principles of social ethics and learn about European Social Policies. Likewise, you will gain knowledge in project management, quality assurance and evaluation.
      • Spatial social work teaches context-analytical perspectives. You will be able to recognize relevant needs with the help of scientific support and to develop new measures within projects. You will cast a critical eye on national welfare systems and analyze social politics and their effects. In the context of gender & diversity you will study the importance and meaning of social variety.
      • Clinical social work covers the social dimension of health. You will learn about the consequences of socially induced illnesses based on actual case work. In interventional social therapy you will learn to apply effective measures. In social psychiatry you will discover how you can contribute to mental health through social work. You will specialize in the field of non-compliance or hard to reach clients and thus extend your expertise in the fields of safety and social prevention.

      Content

      The students gain knowledge of quantitative survey methods. Initially they work on descriptive statistical methods for the presentation and processing of data, such as location and dispersion measures or contingency tables. Subsequently, the elementary methods of inferential statistics, such as correlation, significance tests, regressions and variance analyses are taught to the students. The main focus then lies on the detailed analysis of the data and their correct interpretation in terms of content. In this course the students also learn the basic steps of a common statistical data preparation and evaluation programme. For the applications, mainly empirical studies from clinical social work are used. This ensures the closest possible practical reference to Clinical Social Work. The course considers the distinction between cross-sectional vs. longitudinal data collection (individual case analysis) and examines how qualitative and quantitative data can be combined.

      Content

      The course deals with the lifeworld needs of marginalised people in public spaces, such as homeless people, beggars, drug users and sex workers, as well as the corresponding outreach and inpatient facilities.  The basic principles of outreach work, such as partiality, are addressed as well as the tension between standardisation and support in institutional contexts. Professional action in the context of street work is taught in an application-oriented way and the special role of social work in this context is examined critically in terms of power. Furthermore, models of participation of addressees and self-advocacy are discussed.

      The students gain knowledge of quantitative survey methods. Initially they work on descriptive statistical methods for the presentation and processing of data, such as location and dispersion measures or contingency tables. Subsequently, the elementary methods of inferential statistics, such as correlation, significance tests, regressions and variance analyses are taught to the students. The main focus then lies on the detailed analysis of the data and their correct interpretation in terms of content. In this course the students also learn the basic steps of a common statistical data preparation and evaluation programme. For the applications, mainly empirical studies from socio-spatial Social Work are used. This ensures the closest possible practical reference to socio-spatial Social Work.

      The aim of the course is to present and discuss theories and research on homelessness, as well as programmes of homeless assistance, municipal and non-profit housing and the associated socio-spatial practices.

      A special focus is placed on the forms of services, facilities and programmes in homeless assistance, as well as the housing provision for vulnerable persons.

      The discourse on the growing city and the associated consequences for the creation of affordable housing, especially for vulnerable people, provides the basis for the socio-political and housing policy classification.

      The course gives an insight into the different forms of services and settings of Open Children's and Youth Work, like mobile youth work, youth centres and youth clubs or park supervision and the students are given an understanding of how to act professionally in different settings and how to design socio-pedagogical spaces of action. Gender-sensitive and difference-critical concepts are taught as well as concepts of leisure time pedagogy and mobile youth work / street social work, linked with methods of lifewordly social space analysis. Furthermore, working in (virtual) media worlds is discussed as well as working in and with groups or cliques and in counselling and support contexts. The discourse on youth cultures provides a basis for working with young people. Basic principles of Open Children's and Youth Worsuch like partiality and voluntariness are taught in an applied way, e.g. in relation to documentation and work with parents.

      The qualitative methods of social space analysis developed in the context of Open Youth Work (needle method, district inspection, mental maps, time budgets, etc.), but also methods from classical social research (such as the BURANO method) are taught in this course in a practice-oriented way. The theoretical background, the application of individual methods for social space analysis, the development of concepts as a dynamic interaction between youth work, young people and institutions, and the further development of methods for other target groups (e.g. older people) or in other fields (e.g. urban planning) are discussed. The focus is on the specific lifeworld approach of these social space analysis methods. The students learn - by means of quantitative and qualitative methods of social space analysis - to identify and describe social spaces.

      Content

      Based on concrete problems of the practice of socio-spatial Social Work related to a phenomenon of Social Work, a professional challenge in an organisation or a concrete project, the students independently develop a project or a (public-effective) intervention depending on the problem, which they also implement independently. Depending on the problem, the result of the course can be a developed project that is presented to the (professional) public or an intervention that is implemented (with publicity effect) and then evaluated. Existing empirical data or studies, explanatory knowledge, theoretical knowledge, e.g. on specialised concepts of Social Work, as well as knowledge on professional socio-spatial action are used by the students and provide the basis for project development or intervention.

      Innovative methodological concepts are adapted to the clinical-social needs. Using task markers (CSW task markers), sociotherapeutic tasks (social therapeutic intervention tasks) are reflected and end states (CSW goals) are discussed (Pauls, 2013). In person- and environment-oriented tasks, sociotherapeutic counselling concepts are taught and applied. According to a multi-level model (Pauls, Stockmann, Reicherts, 2013) of counselling competences, interventions are learned and practised, such as social-therapeutic-systemic forms of intervention, solution focused brief therapy, resource activation. This course forms the basis for social therapeutic case management.

      Content

      Technical terms of the social sector, construction features (1st and 2nd social network as well as universal social transfer services) and development patterns of the Austrian welfare state - especially since membership in the EU - are taught. In real terms, overviews and in-depth perspectives are offered with regard to the transformation processes of the welfare state on the basis of selected example cases (e.g. unemployment and labour market policy, poverty and social exclusion with reference to guaranteed minimum income, gender and welfare state as well as intersectionality perspectives; changes in the area of the welfare mix - Social Economy and Social Work) with reference to the effects of a New Public Management strategy in the sense of the general state.

      Content

      Starting with an introduction to the issue of location, different theoretical approaches are presented that deal with location choice and spatial structure from a microeconomic or macroeconomic perspective. Beyond the individual company, the interaction of companies, households and the state is examined.

      The theories presented illustrate reasons for the spatial concentration of economic activity. In order for the students to be able to conduct regional and urban economic studies themselves (e.g. in the context of short analyses, etc.), knowledge about empirical methodology is also taught. Various measures of spatial concentration and regional specialisation are taught.
