A title slide with the heading 'Additive Empathetic Responding' in bold black text on a large yellow-orange rounded bar that bleeds off the left edge, against a plain white background. Below it, smaller text reads 'Jacob Campbell, Ph.D. LICSW at Heritage University' and 'Fall 2026 Week 12 SOWK 486w.'
Fall 2026 SOWK 486w Week 12 - Additive Empathetic Responding
  • Date:
  • November 2026

Week twelve we look to develop strategies for how to impact change with our clients. It is an asynchronous week, with no in-person class because of Veterans Day. Students will read Chapters 17 and 18 from Hepworth et al. (2023) to explore key strategies for helping clients change, including additive empathy, interpretation, and confrontation, along with the barriers that make change hard for clients and how we might limit those barriers in our practice. In the forums, students will discuss the chapters, practice surface and additive empathetic responses, try a four-part model for assertive confrontation, reflect on their own experiences of making change, and consider what facilitates recovery. Students will also submit their Interviewing Skills Role-Play, due on Monday morning. There is also a lecture video that discusses additive empathetic responding. The agenda for that is as follows:

  • Week 12 expectations
  • Additive empathy and interpretation
  • Reactance theory

Learning Objectives for the Week

  • Define and differentiate surface empathy, additive empathy, and interpretation in the context of direct social work practice.
  • Identify and apply the components of additive empathy and interpretive responses in client interactions.
  • Practice assertive confrontation using a structured four-part model.
  • Identify and analyze common barriers that interfere with the client change process.
  • Reflect on personal experiences of making change to build insight into client challenges.
  • Analyze the principles of the SAMHSA Recovery Model.
