Thank you for this reflection. Something that came to mind for me is how working with children really illustrate importance of social work basics, for example the significance of building trust and creating the therapeutic alliance. When first working with Tina, he spent a majority of the session just spending time with her, and received great advice from one of his supervisors to "spend some time getting to know her not her symptoms.". I believe this makes all the difference and there is so much power and insight in these seemingly simple interactions. To your point, part of building trust and understanding is getting to know the patient as a while, which includes her family and relationships. I appreciate your response.
