the beginning skills for a professional social worker include:
○ facilitating an exchange of introductions.
○ employing system 1 thinking instead of system 2 thinking for analyzing situations.
○ validating a null hypothesis.
○ viewing a client in isolation rather than taking the person-in-environment perspective.

Explanation:

• Facilitating introductions is a core initial skill for social workers to build rapport with clients and start client interactions.
• System 1 thinking (intuitive, quick) is not preferred over System 2 (deliberate, analytical) for professional situation analysis.
• Validating null hypotheses is a statistical skill, not a core social work beginning skill.
• Social workers use the person-in-environment perspective, not viewing clients in isolation.

Answer:

A. facilitating an exchange of introductions.
