  • Clinical intuition and the non-material

    Margaret Arnd‐caddiganARTICLEJournal of Religion & Spirituality…2019

    A small set of studies have investigated the use of intuition among therapists, including clinical social workers. These studies identify intuition as an important adjunct to clinical skills. The studies’ participants understand and describe their experience of intuition in terms of energy and related terms. This explanation is not consistent with the dominant ontology in academic social work today, which blinkers non-material aspects of reality.…

  • Listening with Your Gut

    Margaret Arnd-Caddigan, Margaret Arnd‐caddiganARTICLESmith College Studies in Social…2016References: 3

    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

    Open AccessMargaret Arnd-Caddigan, Margaret Arnd‐caddigan et al.ARTICLEQualitative Report2015Cited by: 1References: 7

    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…

  • Clinical Social Workers' Response to a State Policy on the Use of Evidence-Based Practice

    Margaret Arnd-Caddigan, Margaret Arnd‐caddiganARTICLESmith College Studies in Social…2012Cited by: 1References: 1

    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…

  • Evidence‐Based Practice and the Purpose of Clinical Social Work

    Margaret Arnd‐caddigan, Richard PozzutoARTICLESmith College Studies in Social…2010Cited by: 2References: 1

    The problematic that oriented this study is the response of clinical social workers to the state mandate to use evidence‐based practice (EBP) for Medicaid‐supported clients. The portion of the study that is explored in this article answers the research question, how does the mandate affect the provision of services? Data was collected from three clinical social workers who were identified as "successful" by their peers. The data was analyzed by m…

    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…

  • Notes in Support of a Relational Social Work Perspective

    Richard Pozzuto, Margaret Arnd‐caddigan et al.ARTICLESmith College Studies in Social…2009

    The authors review the literature that calls for the incorporation of relational theory into social work practice. Two strands of relational theory are important to developing a relational social work perspective: the psychoanalytic and the feminist. Based on a feminist understanding of relationality, Dorothy Smith has provided an alternative sociological perspective that can inform social work practice on the macro level, which she has termed in…

  • Social Work in the US

    Richard Pozzuto, Margaret Arnd-Caddigan et al.ARTICLEAustralian Social Work2008Cited by: 4References: 8

    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 …
