SOCIAL WORK AS EVIDENCE BASE PRACTICE

Justin Foera-era Lase

Dear Social Worker,,

I want to share you one the dilemma in my mind maybe six months ago about the social work.

Social work as evidence base practice. This phrase I often hear from one of my........., who always says evidence base, evidence base, social worker must be evidence based… I strongly agree with this statement. Social work must be in accordance with the facts/evidence. Social work is a profession that is so sincere in helping its clients.

Brodfor Shaefor (2003, p68) says the social worker should practice social work. Social worker practice within boundaries of the social worker profesion. Also Sheafor p70 says that the social worker should maintain professional objectivity. Means that, the professional adds a new dimension to the helping process by operating with a degree of personal distance and neutrality. And many other expert opinion in accordance with this statement. Social work ethics, gathering data in social work, social work guidelines, etc.

so what the problem ?

The big question, if this statement is not made in everyday life, when I always hear that, "we have to internalize the values of social work in our life evry day as a good social worker".  Whether this is just a mere statement that you yourself can not do ? That’s the problem.

be a good social worker, minimal as you say…
