Critical Thinking for Social Work
Provides a thought provoking consideration of the issue of evidence-based practice in social work, exploring where knowledge and evidence come from, where they are used, why they are used and how they might be used more effectively. Critical Thinking Exercises throughout the book are very useful in focusing the issue under consideration. Explicit links to benchmarking grounds the issues in social work practice and highlights their relevance. Would like to have read a little more about what sources are used most frequently by social workers.
Practical and informative
An accessible and insightful text particularly for students undertaking dissertations and research in social work.
