An issue that has long bothered me is the enormous but unrecorded and unshared body of social work knowledge that exists. This body of knowledge is inaccessible and unused because it is not written down anywhere, so it cannot be disseminated or shared or tested. This knowledge is sometimes called “practice wisdom.” All good practitioners, whether they are clinicians, managers, or community organizers, develop a variety of techniques, of practices, of rules to follow, that they have found through repeated use and that seem to work. Part of this wisdom is knowing that these discoveries work with only a particular kind of client, group, organization, community, or situation and under particular circumstances. Once in a while, when a group of social workers get together over lunch or the office coffeepot, they talk about their discoveries. However, the broader profession does not ever hear of these pieces of wisdom about practice.
