Model Coherency as the Key to Human Service Quality – An Online Introductory Exploration

This Zoom presentation aims to introduce you to Dr. Wolf Wolfensberger’s newly published books: Model Coherency – The Key to Human Service Quality Vol 1,2 & 3 and stimulate renewed interest in the study of model coherency and application.

Dr. Wolfensberger offers advanced insights into model
coherency, with much new material on the fundamental
importance of assumptions, the culturally valued analogue,
the interconnection between model coherency and Social
Role Valorization, including PASSING and PASS, the
construct of need, and the distinction between service
content and service process.
While this brief event cannot thoroughly explore these
areas, we hope it will encourage your further study of Dr.
Wolfersberger writings about them.
Presentation topics will include the history of the model
coherency construct, an overview of the four major
elements of any human service model, exploration of the
six major “tool subjects” of model coherency, and the
suggested frameworks for service evaluation and service
design.
The presentation will conclude with suggestions of potential
ways to more fully bring model coherency into ongoing efforts to teach and implement SRV.
