Abstract

In this essay I will attempt to analyse the use of communication skills within a practice setting. I will briefly acknowledge the six areas of skill studied in the communication module and analyse, in more detail, two of these areas; empathy and working with difference. I will examine communication theory in relation to practice and reflect on the usefulness of the learning undertaken, during role-plays, in preparation for practice. social work practice is a skilled activity that requires effective communication in order to enhance the lives of others. Trevithick (2000:1) notes that 'social work is located within some of the most complex problems and perplexing areas of human experience, and for this reason, social work is, and has to be, a highly skilled activity.' Pierson and Thomas (2002:95) recognise that '..in social work and social welfare agencies, good, clear, accurate communication is essential' and that 'all workers need to develop appropriate communication skills both for face-to-face and for written communications'.
