*Discuss the role of dominant narratives of 'normal' and 'pathological' development in social work policy and practice

Drawing on relevant research and literature covered throughout the module, critically discuss narratives of 'normal' and 'pathological' development and their impact on social work context.

Focusing on one life stage (childhood, adulthood, late-adulthood) identify what is considered 'normal' or 'pathological' according to key developmental theories, and discuss the impact of this on service users in a social work context.
