Abstract

The purpose of this brief note is to critically reflect on the unresolvedness of the multiple debates within the field of social work, using both scholar and practitioner perspectives. These debates include theory's relationship to research and practice, the micro-mezzo-macro practice divides, and broader questions of the profession's identity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
