Creating and applying knowledge for critical social work practice: Reflections on epistemology, research, and evidence-based practice
In this article, we explore knowledge creation for critical social work practice. We examine critical realism as a complementary epistemology for research with populations who experience structural inequality. The growing literature on critical realism offers helpful commentary for strengthening anti-oppressive approaches to practice. The site of clinical practice is explored as an underdeveloped location for creating case-specific knowledge that…
From Cultural Competence to Cultural Consciousness: Transitioning to a Critical Approach to Working Across Differences in Social Work
Driven by increasing cultural diversity and growing inequities in health and social outcomes, cross-cultural competence has become a fundamental dimension of effective and ethical social work practice. It has assumed a prominent discourse in social work education, scholarship, professional practice, codes of ethics, and organizational policy; however, how one defines, acquires, applies, and evaluates cultural competencies continue to be issues of…
The Coconstruction of Couples' Roles in Parenting Children With a Chronic Health Condition
In this study we explored the ways that mothers and fathers of children who have a chronic health condition coconstructed their parenting roles. We wanted to move beyond the standard focus on individual parenting behaviors and use a grounded theory approach to better capture the dyadic and interpersonal gestalt of how parents worked out their roles. We explored multiple factors that influenced their decision making and the unique models that each…

Fathers of Children with a Chronic Health Condition: Beyond Gender Stereotypes
Parenting a child with a chronic health condition is an experience that serves as a catalyst for meaningful involvement for many fathers. In responding to their children's needs, fathers' masculine identity becomes visible in the ways that they choose to parent. This article reports on a grounded-theory study that examined fathers' gender identity and the way they interpreted their role as a father. While endorsing some essential male and female …
Evidence-Based Practice in an Age of Relativism: Toward a Model for Practice
Evidence-based practice (EBP) is considered a hallmark of excellence in clinical practice. However, many social workers are uncertain about how to implement this approach to practice. EBP involves integrating clinical expertise and values with the best available evidence from systematic research while simultaneously considering the client's values and expectations--all within the parameters of the agency mandate and any legislative or environment…
Processes of Metastudy: A Study of Psychosocial Adaptation to Childhood Chronic Health Conditions
Metastudy introduces a systematically aggregated interpretive portrayal of a body of literature, based on saturation and the synthesis of findings. In this metastudy, the authors examined qualitative studies addressing psychosocial adaptation to childhood chronic health conditions, published over a 30-year period (1970-2000). They describe metastudy processes, including study identification, strategies for study search and retrieval, adjudication…
Fathers' Experience of Parenting a Child With Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis
The author examined the experience of fathers who have a child with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (JRA). He used grounded theory methodology, in which 22 fathers participated in semistructured interviews, and developed a substantive theory of fathers' experience that addresses the impact of their child's JRA, their adaptational responses, and the meanings they associated with their experiences. Fathers were profoundly affected, perceived their ch…
