Abstract: The literature on how psychiatric social workers approach discharge planning is lacking. This study was undertaken to learn more about the helping process psychiatric social workers use, specifically if they use a problem-solving process and if they attend to the relationship component when helping clients, namely families, resolve discharge planning problems. Social workers' responses to resolving three hypothetical discharge cases were analyzed for problem-solving practice principles and relationship elements. Findings indicate that psychiatric social workers utilize a problem-solving process and relationship components when resolving discharge planning problems. The implications of the findings are discussed.
