Evidence-Based Practice in Social Work

Editat de Andy Bilson, A. Bilson, Whiting & Birch
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 31 aug 2005
Social services are under pressure from Government and the public to demonstrate the effectiveness of what they do. If the search for useable and relevant measures of effectiveness is to succeed, practitioners, managers, and policymakers must have an understanding of the underlying social science concepts such as Evidence-based practice (EBP).This concept is now promoted as a 'scientific' approach to policy and practice. However, the concept was developed in the field of medicine, and many would ask whether we can safely apply it to the messy process of social problem solving? The promotion of evidence-based practice also has implications for the content and focus of social work education and training, and for the selection and recruitment of staff and students.Evidence-based Practice and Social Work provides a comprehensive overview of developments in this field and highlight many important debates and dilemmas.Writers give clear pointers to the need for a new partnership between research, policy and practice, able to promote effective services. They suggest a more inclusive version of EBP that is better able to respond to the uncertainties of social work practice in the real world.Contents include: An empirical study of the obstacles to evidence-based practice Brian Sheldon, Professor of Applied Social Research/Director, Rupatharshini Chilvers, Annemarie Ellis, Alice Moseley, and Stephen Tierney, CEBSS, Peninsula Medical School, Exeter . The limits of positivism revisited David Smith, Professor of Social Work, Dept of Applied Social Science, University of Lancaster . A problematic relationship?
