These questions are also for a social work class, and again worth a lot of points!

1. Social workers have significant power in some clients’ lives; for example, some social workers have major input into custody decisions made by child protective services. How can a social worker show a client that despite being in a position of power and having the potential to cause negative outcomes for the client, they actually want to work as a team with the client?

2. Are there clients for whom you would have a hard time advocating? What would you do if you and your client had very different perceptions of what the core issue at the foundation of their presenting problem was?
