Ignorant.

I’ve met (professionally) quite a few very ignorant social workers. And I am not putting social workers down, but I knew and worked with a number of really strange ones.

One believed that unusual gate, posture or manner of walking are all symptoms of schizophrenia (there was no other symptoms). When pointed out that one had high functioning ASD and one was walking certain way because of cerebral palsy and neither had schizophrenia, she insisted that she read it somewhere and it’s a sure sign . She believed that everyone who stays up late is doing so because they are depressed. She wouldn’t buy an explanation that the person was at a party or had some other fun stuff keeping them up or that someone might be a night owl

Then I knew one who had hard time learning basic computer functions, that certain things don’t automatically save and if you don’t save them they get lost. She routinely typed stuff over other peoples reports deleting what others typed because she just couldn’t grasp how it works. She also couldn’t figure out any google functions and the concept of a shared drive of shared files

One I know now is so ditzy, dumb, lazy, clueless and gullible that we are all scratching our heads

Now having said that, they also are NOT good at their job. I don’t know if ignorance made them bad or it’s just a coincidence but I suspect ignorant peipke can’t do a good job with anything that is not a menial job. But then again I
Might be wrong

Is she a good therapist otherwise?
