Learning Objectives 341 Overview 342 Where Do Social Workers Do Social
Work? 342 Monocultural versus Multicultural Organizational Perspectives in
Social Work 345 Lesson 1: A failure to develop a balanced perspective
between person focus and systems focus can result in false attribution of
the problem. 348 Lesson 2: A failure to develop a balanced perspective
between person focus and system focus can result in an ineff ective and
inaccurate treatment plan that is potentially harmful to the client. 349
Lesson 3: When the "client" is an organization or a larger system and not
an individual, a major paradigm shift is needed to attain a true
understanding of the problem and identify the solution. 349 Lesson 4:
Organizations are microcosms of the wider society from which they
originate. As a result, they are likely to be reflections of the
monocultural values and practices of the larger culture. 350 Lesson 5:
Organizations are powerful entities that inevitably resist change and
possess within their arsenal many ways to force compliance in individuals.
350 Lesson 6: When multicultural organizational development is required,
alternative helping roles that emphasize systems intervention must be part
of the role repertoire of the social worker. 351 Lesson 7: Although
remediation will always be needed, prevention is better. 351 Models of

Learning Objectives 341 Overview 342 Where Do Social Workers Do Social
Work? 342 Monocultural versus Multicultural Organizational Perspectives in
Social Work 345 Lesson 1: A failure to develop a balanced perspective
between person focus and systems focus can result in false attribution of
the problem. 348 Lesson 2: A failure to develop a balanced perspective
between person focus and system focus can result in an ineff ective and
inaccurate treatment plan that is potentially harmful to the client. 349
Lesson 3: When the "client" is an organization or a larger system and not
an individual, a major paradigm shift is needed to attain a true
understanding of the problem and identify the solution. 349 Lesson 4:
Organizations are microcosms of the wider society from which they
originate. As a result, they are likely to be reflections of the
monocultural values and practices of the larger culture. 350 Lesson 5:
Organizations are powerful entities that inevitably resist change and
possess within their arsenal many ways to force compliance in individuals.
350 Lesson 6: When multicultural organizational development is required,
alternative helping roles that emphasize systems intervention must be part
of the role repertoire of the social worker. 351 Lesson 7: Although
remediation will always be needed, prevention is better. 351 Models of
