  • A.Combination
  • B.Holistic
  • C.Ecological
  • D.System

Answer: B

Integrated social work is the use of a holistic approach.

The integrated (or generalist) approach grew out of dissatisfaction with treating casework, group work and community organisation as separate specialisms. It asks the worker to see the client as a whole person within family, group, community and wider social systems, and to choose whichever method or mix of methods the situation needs. That whole-person, whole-situation view is what 'holistic' means.

'Combination' describes only the mixing of methods, not the outlook behind it. The ecological and systems perspectives are theories that integrated practice draws on, but each is one lens, not the overall approach the term names.
