In my practicum, I sought to explore how clinical social work practitioners achieve holistic practice in counselling settings. Holistic practice and alternative methods in clinical social work are gaining broader recognition within the profession and academia. One could argue that social work is always holistic since it views clients within their environments and social systems. While I believe this structural, ecological person-in-environment perspective is key to a holistic approach, I am also interested in the many other complimentary ways we can attend to the complexity of our clients’ selves and experiences, especially through alternative and creative methods as opposed to solely theoretical ones.
