Listening with Your Gut
Boundary dilemmas are an important aspect of clinical social work. The author presents a case example to demonstrate the use of clinical intuition to arrive at a judgment in one such dilemma. The analytic literature suggests that intuition is best understood as unconscious communication. Cognitive research has offered two alternative models of intuition: the heuristics model and the learning model. The case presented illustrates that perhaps the …
Types of Knowledge, Forms of Practice
This study was designed to explore the way that us e of theory influenced a social worker’s conceptualization of a simulated case. The participant in this case study was a woman employed in child welfare, who holds an MSW. She was chosen because her response in a larger study represented a deviant case. Data analysis included both thematic analysis and an analysis of a written report based on ideas taken from institutional ethnography. The author…

The application will provide instructors with greater understanding of students’ abilities and limitations in their service-learning experiences.

Clinical Social Workers' Response to a State Policy on the Use of Evidence-Based Practice
The researcher investigated the practices of licensed clinical social workers along with the policy that is intended to guide their practice and the documents that are intended to reflect their practice. The researcher wished to discern how the clinicians have responded to a policy intended to mandate a form of evidence-based practice. What the researcher found was that, although clinicians report their work in a manner that is consistent with th…
Teaching Human Behavior and the Social Environment to Enhance Students' Personal Epistemology
Current trends in education practices focus on student's personal epistemologies and their development. Two social work educators took specific steps to attempt to enhance the personal epistemologies of the social work students in their courses in human behavior in the social environment. One instructor repeated the trajectory of the reflective judgment model in her lectures, and the other gave a series of assignments that presented students with…
Social Work in the US
Social work occurs in a context and, in part, reflects that context. In the present paper, we address the sociohistorical context of social work in the US and attempt to illustrate a correspondence between the current practices of social work and the context of its development. Of particular interest are the concepts of individualism and instrumental reason, and how they became intertwined with politics, social policy, and the practice of social …
