Practitioners' Perspectives on Sound Reasoning: Adding a Worker-in-Context Component
Abstract
Despite the increasing emphasis being placed on sound reasoning in
social work practice, there has been little empirical investigation of
how practitioners understand this as taking concrete form or how it is
impeded or facilitated by contextual & environmental factors.
Here, questionnaire data from 69 direct practitioners in social
service agencies providing case management services are drawn on to
explore their beliefs concerning (1) what constitutes sound reasoning;
(2) environmental factors that promote or interfere with sound
reasoning; & (3) useful strategies in correcting problems in
practice reasoning. Implications for the enhancement of sound
reasoning in human service agencies are discussed. 3 Tables, 99
