A Social Case Work interview is a purposeful and professional interaction between a social worker and a client aimed at understanding the client’s problems, needs, feelings, relationships, and social situation. In counselling, the interview provides an important opportunity to establish a helping relationship and facilitate positive change. It differs from an ordinary conversation because it is guided by professional principles, specific objectives, and ethical standards. One special feature is its purposefulness. Every interview is conducted with a definite objective, such as gathering information, understanding the client’s difficulties, assessing needs, identifying strengths, or planning intervention. The social worker keeps the discussion focused while allowing the client sufficient freedom to express concerns. Another important feature is the professional relationship between the social worker and the client. The relationship is based on acceptance, empathy, respect, and trust. The worker avoids criticism and develops a non-judgmental attitude so that the client feels safe while discussing personal, family, emotional, or social difficulties. This relationship is particularly important in counselling because clients may initially hesitate to disclose sensitive information. The interview is also client-centred and individualized. Social case work recognizes that every person has a unique personality, background, family environment, and set of experiences.
