Clinical Social Work for people with epilepsy-Interactive empowerment process for workers and clients in epilepsy consultation-
![]() |
In the present study
15 social workers
who had provided consultations for epilepsy patients were interviewed
and the results were analyzed by the modified grounded theory approach. The results revealed 41 concepts in eight categories and ten subcategories
clarifying an "interactive empowerment process" between social workers and clients in epilepsy consultation.This "interactive empowerment process" consisted of two processes. In one process
powerless clients with latent needs learn to express their needs and proactively choose how they want to live. In the other process
social workers are empowered as clients change
and they reaffirm their original identity as social workers and support clients to pursue their own of living.
