Military Social Work: A Methodological Overview

Abstract

Military social work is a dedicated field of practice that provides obligatory support and intrusions to military personnel, retirees, their spouses and their dependents through private practice, active service or work with veteran services. The military social workers can entirely assist and help to resolve combat-related disturbance in military members through their services, but having an immediate experience creates a distinctive tie amid the military social worker and client. The most imperative attribute to be a military social worker is Empathy. The majority of people with whom the social workers work, are in a state of crisis and emotional distress. Consequently, one must be able to proffer a caring, understanding and empowering environment to them.
