| define critical thinking and evidence based practice: Using Evidence in Social Work Practice Harold Briggs, Professor in the School of Social Work Harold Briggs, Professor in the School of Social Service Administration Tina Rzepnicki, Tina Rzepnicki, 2004-04 This important anthology reinforces the value of evidence-based practice. While the term evidence-based practice has only recently gained currency, it continues the social work tradition of applying scientific methods to practice. In their introductory chapter, the editors stress the vital need for practitioners to share their research and experience with colleagues. There is an overwhelming body of literature in the field and to use it to the best advantage it is essential to learn the skills of critical thinking. The authors help the reader to evaluate the many sources of information, realize that even empirical knowledge is subject to revision, and balance conflicting views in order to make reasonable choices appropriate for one's own practice. The scholars contributing to this work have helped shape the definition of contemporary social work practice. Their clear, concise chapters range from discussions about ethics, the nature of evidence, and the role of theory, through the addressing of widely varying, specific client problems, to selected issues that must be dealt with inside the social work system itself. Suitable for use in a variety of practice courses, this book will retain its value long after graduation as a source of helpful guidance and of lively discussion. |

What information would you want to gather from them? What would your assessment entail? How do you rely upon assessment data to search for the best available evidence to find interventions to address issues of concern? What if more than one evidence-informed intervention would work. What if there are no interventions that address need, effective and culturally applicable? What else should I do to inform intervention and case planning? What if I don't have the capacity or training to implement evidence-informed interventions to mitigate risk factors for this case and other cases I am assigned to? What if I am unable to implement the intervention to fidelity? How do I ensure what I am doing will meet client goals and address their issues of concern? How do I grapple with simultaneously assessing client values or preference, best available evidence, and my own judgement and biases? These are just some of the questions that even the most seasoned social workers struggle to address-- |
