Problem Solving in Social Work Practice: Implications for Knowledge Utilization

Arizona State University

Craig Winston LeCroy

Arizona State University

This approach has important implications for moving the profession toward greater accountability in the practice of social work. Unless educators can motivate practitioners to change the way in which they ask questions and make predictions, it is unlikely that practitioners will use scientific information in their problem-solving processes.
