Identify two sources of knowledge from Gambrill's chapter and explain how a social worker uses these different types of "questionable" knowledge in practice. Offer an example of how each type of "questionable" knowledge guides your decision making in social work practice. Evaluate one strength and one limitation in using these two sources of knowledge to guide decision making in social work practice. Identify specific ways how a doctoral education will help you develop skills to critically evaluate evidence to determine which practices to use based on the evidence base.
