Developing practice guidelines for social work intervention [electronic resource] : issues, methods, and research agenda / Aaron Rosen and Enola K. Proctor, editors.

Rosen, Aaron. (Added Author). Proctor, Enola Knisley. (Added Author).

Summary:

This book bridges the gap between social work knowledge and empirically based practice. Although there is a significant need for the use of empirically tested and verified knowledge in social work practice, the empirical basis of support is nearly absent from practitioners'considerations as they make clinical decisions in routine practice. The authors advocate the development of readily available, accessible, and professionally sanctioned practice guidelines for use by practitioners, a necessity in the age of managed care and demands for greater accountability, effectiveness, and efficiency in practice. This book features a much-needed discussion of racial and ethnic differentials in relation to practice guidelines and on the relationship between practice guidelines and different aspects of service delivery.
