Abstract

Over the past decades, there has been a gap in literature discussing the field of psychiatric social work in the Philippines. In an attempt to address this, this article describes a case to revisit the practice of psychiatric social work in the Philippine setting. Using an autoethnographic methodology, I recount my experience as a psychiatric social worker at a teaching hospital located in Quezon City, Metro Manila, Philippines, to illustrate the position, its roles and functions, and the common strategies it employs in practice. In discussing my personal experience, I reflect on themes and assert that psychiatric social work remains to have a continuing significance in today’s mental health landscape, offering innovative practices in response to newer challenges of helping patients with mental health conditions

Abstract

Suicidal thoughts often serve as a precursor to suicide, which is a leading cause of death globally. In the Philippines, social work service users frequently present suicidal thoughts as an area of concern, yet the absence of standardized protocols and supportive systems complicates the role of Filipino social workers. Guided by Rolfe et al.’s Critical Reflection Model, this paper contemplates a social work helping process with a service user living with passive suicidal thoughts. Using a single case presentation, the paper illustrates the application of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)-informed social work counseling as an approach. Preliminary observations from the case suggest notable reductions in distress levels and underscore the importance of adapting and replicating the approach across diverse contexts. Additionally, the paper offers relevant practice insights drawn from the experience. It concludes with recommendations for advancing practice and future research in this critical area.
