I believe that my developing practice style coincides with Common Factors, as well as evidenced based practice. I think that a successful social worker must have the ability to connect with the client, build a trusting relationship built on trust and professionalism, and ensure that the needs of the client are being addressed first and foremost. I only believe there should be frequent check-ins to ensure that the needs of the client are being met and acknowledged. There are times that we may want to insert our own interests and agenda in to the work with the client, but this can severely hinder and deter the client’s interest and future participation in therapy. I think it is possible to incorporate these factors in to other evidence based

    The writings of advocates of EBP demonstrate that a shift is taking place in the social work field towards a more integrated approach where “social work is an applied, empirically grounded social and cultural science aiming at both causal explanation and interpretive understanding” (Otto & Zeigler, 2008, p. 273). Talking about the limits of RCTs they suggest that “Typically, the experimental design is not able to control for the effects of worker-client dynamics and client characteristics that are not clearly defined, understood or measurable” (Cnaan & Dichter, 2008 p. 281). They go on to say: that there is a need for some sort of feedback process where the fit between the practice needs and the effectiveness of the intervention are actually studied. However it is all too common for social work practice and research to be carried out ‘in silo’ form “where the EBP processes are followed up, evaluated, and connected too rarely” (Cnaan & Dichter, 2008 p. 289).

    Much like occupational therapy, social workers incorporate theory in their field to increase the understanding of human behavior and the delivery of exceptional service. The profession of social work follows the code of ethics, core values, and guiding principles of the National Association of Social Workers (NASW). Fultz described how the principles of service, social justice, dignity and worth of a person, importance of human relationships, integrity and competence guide her clinical practice by strengthening her commitment to her client centered services. Although Fultz incorporates theory into her clinical experience, she addressed the challenges that occur when trying to apply theory. She believes that since each client is unique to themselves, not all theories may be helpful to all individuals. However, she continues to use theory due to the fact that it is evidence based and ensures that health professionals are using the most efficient and up to date treatment

    Social workers should seek the knowledge of both first hand and second hand experiences. Some skills needed have to be developed by the individual practitioner such as critical thinking skills, data retrieval and critical assessment abilities, and research and evaluation approaches. Using this knowledge along with the skills developed leads to a great practitioner. Developing your own knowledge and skills is a strategy and this pertains to a social work practitioner becoming knowledgeable in the field. This means actually reading the information that is out there and processing it yourself. The first step is understanding your own values, culture, and beliefs and applying it to the information learned. A practitioner should be aware of what skills they are good at and continue to develop those skills. Once the practitioner is grounded in her own knowledge then seeking information elsewhere from the literature and colleagues is the next step for understanding. Being able to pinpoint the deficits leads to the development of the skills previously lacked. According to Aveyard and Sharp (2013), a self-assessment should be administered to gauge the level of skill and knowledge gaps (p.146). Using an assessment to see where deficiency
