tlooto Summary

Alternative approach to authority-based practice in social work criticized for lack of scientific reasoning and agreement on 'one way of knowing'.

Abstract

There is no agreement on “one way of knowing” in social work, and it is certainly not scientific reasoning that is accepted, as can be seen by examining the literature in social work on “different ways of knowing.”
