Predictors of Job Satisfaction among New MSWs
This study examines job satisfaction at early career stages among new U.S. Master of Social Work (MSW) graduates. It explores (a) what factors were associated with job satisfaction, including organizational factors (interpersonal working environment and agency characteristics), educational preparation in the MSW program, and personal characteristics, and (b) whether organizational factors have more significant effects than other predictors. Eight…
How Quickly We Forget
The Social Service Review article, “A Historical Analysis of Evidence-Based Practice in Social Work: The Unfinished Journey toward an Empirically Grounded Profession,” by Nathanael J. Okpych and James L-H Yu, is the kind of article that makes you sit up and say, “That’s revisionist history!” “What new ideas!” “I wish I had written that!” “But that’s not what I know!” Such an ambivalent response suggests that it is a groundbreaking article or at l…

Preparing Students for Practice in a Managed Care Environment
Managed care has profound effects on health and mental health service delivery in the United States. This article describes the knowledge that students need for effective social work practice within a managed care environment and evaluates a course to deliver the content
Cost Outcomes and Social Work Practice
Comparison of Faculty Ratings of Applicants and Background Characteristics as Predictors of Performance in an MSW Program
Admissions decisions are critical in gate-keeping for social work because so few students are screened out after admissions. Faculty often evaluate MSW applicants to assess the intangible personal qualities that make a good social worker. Are faculty admissions ratings better predictors of performance in graduate school than background characteristics such as undergraduate major, undergraduate GPA and experience? A study of 106 graduates of one M…

Gender Inequities in Early Social Worker Careers
In Search of the Continuum
Do students with prior academic preparation in social work perform better in graduate school than students who do not have a BSW? Master's students in a southeastern school of social work were surveyed about their background, general psychosocial adjustment, adjustment to and attitudes toward graduate school, and graduate academic performance. Forced-entry multiple regression was used to control simultaneously for the effect of background and adj…
Planning Duration and Termination of Treatment
This survey of fifty-nine M.S.W.'s in direct practice explores their plans for termination of treatment in three areas: (1) criteria for short- versus long-term treatment, (2) criteria for continuing treatment beyond a set termination date, and (3) criteria for termination when no concluding date was set initially
Communication Processes in Social Work Practice
The Hollis and Reid typologies of practitioner verbal communication represent an important and theoretically consistent attempt to measure social work practice techniques within a psychosocial framework. This article reviews the theoretical and research issues in application of the typologies and summarizes the results of studies applying the typologies to social work practice
Problem-Solving Processes in Task-Centered Treatment with Adults and Children
This study conceptualizes treatment communication as a set of joint practitioner-client, problem-solving activities. Patterns of activities within and across six interviews of intensive task-centered practice are compared for twelve adult and twelve child cases. Although both adults' and children's cases implemented a general task-centered model, there were differences in proportionate utilization and temporal patterns of problem-solving activiti…
Beyond Control
WIN, Work, and Welfare
A follow-up study found that the majority of former WIN participants were still on welfare after being out of the program an average of eighteen months. Many held low-wage jobs and were receiving supplementary assistance. Ninety percent of the sample had employment histories prior to their WIN experience. Women, who were more likely than men to have received education and job training while in WIN, were also more likely to obtain jobs at higher s…
