Clay Graybeal publication selected for inclusion in four-volume compendium
Clay Graybeal, Ph.D., director of the School of Community and Population Health, authored an article titled "Evidence for the Art of Social Work" recently selected for inclusion in the four-volume compendium Social Work Research. The compendium is edited by Ian Shaw, Mark Hardy, and Jeanne Marsh and will be published in fall 2015 by Sage Publications Inc.
Graybeal's article was originally published in Families in Society: The Journal of Contemporary Social Services in 2007. It discusses the importance of the quality of the alliance formed between social workers and their clients and the accommodation of an improvisatory conception of practice, as opposed to rigid adherence to particular theories or methods for specific types of problems and diagnoses.
