Order Description
Burger (2014) states that “instead of asking which theory is best, it might be better to ask which theory and treatment are the most useful in regard to a particular human problem. Theories are conceptual tools designed to help us understand complex situations. The best tool must be selected for the task at hand. Most helpers agree that certain theories seem to fit a particular client better than others” (p.185).
How does evidence-based practice impact Burger’s statement? Which theories from Table 4.2 will be strengthened most easily by evidence-based practice? Which will be harder to prove? What are the implications for human service workers?
