Ecological Social Work orientation is ............... .
Answer: D
The ecological orientation in social work is integrated, holistic and generalist.
The ecological perspective, developed by Carel Germain and Alex Gitterman in the life model, sees people and their environments as one interdependent system and looks at the fit between them. Because it attends at once to the person, the family, the group, the organisation and the community, it provides the theoretical base for integrated, holistic and generalist social work practice rather than for a single method.
Despite its name, the ecological approach is not about the natural environment, ecological balance or ecosystem management; it borrows the idea of an ecosystem as a metaphor for the transactions between people and their social surroundings.
