I was just thinking about the "direct but not clinical" thing yesterday. At first i thought i wanted to do MACRO social work. Upon further research, I see myself being interested in a little bit of both Direct Practice and the Indirect administrative stuff, so I am looking for schools that are flexible in allowing me to take a little bit of both sides. Also, I believe it was on the UConn MSW website, they have a casework specialization and group work specialization which seems direct but not as clinical. I am sure there are a few other schools like that.
