Introduction
In this book, we will establish the fact that critical thinking is a fundamental social work skill. Like any skill, though, critical thinking requires practice. In a similar way to Serena and Venus Williams practising for hours on the tennis courts to become world-beating athletes, you need to practise your skill of critical thinking to become a proud, safe, effective and capable social worker. It is unlikely that your hard work will be rewarded with the same fame and fortune that Serena and Venus enjoy, but, by taking the time to develop your critical thinking skills, you will be setting yourself on a pathway to achieve the best social work practice possible and what better reward could there be than that?
The importance of critical thinking
Aiming to become the best social work practitioner possible requires you to understand that the people whom you work to support will most likely remember you for a long time. Your involvement in peoples lives will be memorable. What is crucially important, therefore, is that you work hard to ensure that the memories that people will have of you are positive. It might be that some people disagree that they need social work involvement in their lives; others might not share your views and assessment of a particular situation. Nevertheless, by promoting opportunities for effective relationships, and by working in a safe, open and transparent way, you should be able to use critical reflection to justify your actions and explain why some of the decisions you make in partnership with the people you are working with are right.
Critical reflection is a skill that varies from person to person and from one social worker to another. It is an essential characteristic of social work practice because even with the best intentions, social work practitioners can make mistakes. The key difference between safe, effective and capable social work practice and social work practice that falls short of the required minimum standards is the ability to apply critical reflection skills well. As you will uncover throughout this book, the single biggest factor undermining the skills required to critically reflect well is you. Critical reflection and critical writing require that we turn a mirror onto our own practice to see and examine our actions and writing in the most objective way possible.
By the end of your social work training, you will have worked to support people who will almost certainly remember you for the rest of their lives. For some of you this reality might be unnerving; after all, the privilege of being so heavily involved in the lives of others is a challenge that you might not have fully considered or understood at the outset of this learning journey. But the point to try to always remember is that if you work as hard as you can to ensure that the memories people have of you reflect the diligence of your work, rather than any of the omissions that you might make, you will be progressing along the right path.
In Social Work as Art by Hugh England (1986), social work is conceptualised as a process by which you, through the intuitive use of self, give meaning to the lived experiences of others. As you engage with the world around you, it is arguable that you are now skilled, as a mature learner, to use all of your senses to understand and develop a strong notion of what type of relationships you like with others and what type of relationships you do not like. In other words, you have developed the social skills needed to develop and maintain or distance yourself from various relationships that you have with others. Throughout your own life course development, you have been taught, and have learnt, how to interact with others, how to communicate and how to be successful in achieving your own ambitions.
