Svendsen, T. S., Selseng, L. B., & Galvani, S. (2018). Developing education on problematic substance use in Norwegian social work bachelor’s degree. Social Work Education. 10.1080/02615479.2018.1556630Abstract
This commentary article is based on a mapping of education on problematic substance use (PSU) in the Norwegian social work bachelor’s degree (SWBD). The results show that national discussions are necessary to ensure that Norwegian SWBD students are provided with consistent and adequate education in preparation for work with PSU issues in social work practice. A practical starting point for development is presented. A discussion concerning social work’s role in future theoretical, practical, and research developments in the field of PSU is paramount.
