Description
Evidence-based Practice in Social Work by Ian Mathews and Karin Crawford offers a critical approach to the debate surrounding the reliability and validity of evidence, research, and knowledge that underpins professional social work practice.
The authors critique the notion of 'evidence' and argue for a broader concept of 'knowledge', exploring its different components and sources, as well as the interface between practice and knowledge. They also support the view that knowledge can be actively developed and tested by various individuals.
