Bridging the Gap
Systematic inquiry is an inherent part of social work practice. Despite this fact, social work students and practitioners continue to view research as difficult, intimidating and irrelevant. This disconnect is compounded by a lack of rigorous study on how best to teach research concepts to social work students. One way to bridge this gap is to provide a more robust integration of research principles and practices into the MSW curriculum through p…
Community Practice in Social Work
Community practice, which considers the community as a means and focus of practice, has been a significant aspect of the field of social work throughout its first century (1917–2017). In this article, we focus on the development of community practice in social work over time, identify enduring themes in the trends and issues faced by this method, and discuss what directions it may take in the future. As social workers working across methods, we v…

Graduate Social Work Faculty’s Support for Educational Content on Women and on Sexism
Social work faculty play an important role in preparing students to address sexism and engage in culturally competent practice with women. This study examines the nature of U.S. and Anglo-Canadian graduate social work faculty's support for content on women and on sexism. Although support appears high for both content areas, results suggest that faculty endorsement for content on women is significantly greater than that for sexism. Further, bivari…

Replication of a psychosocial rehabilitation program
This article describes a strategy of organizing community stakeholder groups for the purpose of planning and implementing an innovative mental health program—supported education services for adults with mental illnesses who were interested in pursuing postsecondary education. A common planning framework was used in several different communities within the same state. The framework is described, as well as each community's characteristics and thei…

Community Organizing with Women of Color
The problems of women of color are related to gender, ethnic, and class inequality, yet little attention has been paid to methods for changing these structural conditions; most social work literature on gender and ethnicity has focused on individual models for change. Recent research on feminist organizing has identified ways in which community organization methods can be made more effective for use with groups of women. The implementation of the…
Choosing to Do Participatory Research
Participatory research is an increasingly popular approach, and considered by some to be synonymous with progressive social work research practice. It is important, however, to assess its suitability for both a given project and the people involved with it. Points to consider include fit of the approach with researcher(s), community, topic, organizational context and constraints. This article describes a participatory research process through whi…

Beyond Coping
Research on stressful life events has demonstrated their negative effects on health and mental health. The possibility of empowerment, how individuals can take action to change their situations, has been largely overlooked by this research. Empowerment theory and research suggest that the outcome of stressful life events can be less debilitating when individuals are encouraged to identify with similar others, to develop specific skills, to percei…

Social Work Theories and Practice with Battered Women
In the 1970s, wife abuse became a concern of sociologists, feminists, and family theorists. The new perspectives they brought to the problem, which focused more on social factors than on individual pathology, challenged social workers to examine how their practice and assumptions perpetuated the problem. This article investigates how the social work literature has been affected by new theories of domestic violence and analyzes the impact that the…
