Evidence based social work: a critical stance
Gray, Mel
Evidence based social work: a critical stance Gray, Mel - London Routledge 2009 - xix, 216 p.
Includes bibliographical references (p. [190]-212) and index.
This book provides a critical analysis of evidence-based practice in social work. It introduces readers to the fast changing research, policy, legislative, and practice context. It discusses what constitutes knowledge in social work, the values and beliefs that lie behind EBP and problems of implementation, formalisation and resource management. Reflecting on the challenges of transferring evidence-based practice to frontline social work practice, the authors argue that social work practice is not easily measured and systematised into best practice guidelines that disseminate proven diagnostic and effective intervention knowledge.
