ABSTRACT

Social workers must make ‘justifiable’ decisions, but ‘intuition’ is also important in assessment, decision making and working with risk. We discuss intuition within professional judgement as being part of our cognitive faculties; emotionally-informed reasoning processes connecting workers with clients and families; and intuition making use of internalised learning. Challenges discussed include intuition as a taboo topic; communicating intuition-based judgements within group decision processes; and lack of models for integrating intuition with explicit use of knowledge. To develop the professional knowledge base on professional judgement, the paper considers six theoretical frameworks which might be used to conceptualise intuition within social work decision making, including: (1) the ‘tacit knowledge’ of sociological discourse; (2) intuition as ‘sense-making’; (3) internalisation of learning; (4) conceptual schemas from neuroscience; (5) Kahneman’s ‘thinking fast and slow’; and (6) decision heuristics. Intuition is discussed in the context of supervision and organisational governance; use of assessment tools and processes; creation of mental models for practice; implications for education and training; and further research. Although the profession must continue to develop its ability to use the best knowledge to inform practice, a psycho-social rationality model may be required to conceptualise internalised ‘intuitive’ judgement processes in practice.

在社会工作决策中使用直觉

摘要

社会工作者必须做出“合理”的决定,但“直觉”在评估、决策和应对风险方面也很重要。我们将专业判断中的直觉视为我们认知能力的一部分;将员工与客户和家人联系起来的情感知情推理过程;和直觉利用内化学习。讨论的挑战包括直觉作为禁忌话题;在群体决策过程中传达基于直觉的判断;缺乏将直觉与知识的明确使用相结合的模型。为了发展基于专业判断的专业知识,本文考虑了六个理论框架,可用于将社会工作决策中的直觉概念化,包括:(1)社会学话语的“隐性知识”;(2) 直觉作为'意义';(3) 学习内化;(4) 来自神经科学的概念图式;(5)卡尼曼的“快慢思考”;(6) 决策启发式。直觉是在监督和组织治理的背景下讨论的;评估工具和流程的使用;为实践创建心智模型;对教育和培训的影响;并进一步研究。尽管该专业必须继续发展其使用最佳知识为实践提供信息的能力,但可能需要一种心理社会理性模型来概念化实践中内化的“直觉”判断过程。直觉是在监督和组织治理的背景下讨论的;评估工具和流程的使用;为实践创建心智模型;对教育和培训的影响;并进一步研究。尽管该专业必须继续发展其使用最佳知识为实践提供信息的能力,但可能需要一种心理社会理性模型来概念化实践中内化的“直觉”判断过程。直觉是在监督和组织治理的背景下讨论的;评估工具和流程的使用;为实践创建心智模型;对教育和培训的影响;并进一步研究。尽管该专业必须继续发展其使用最佳知识为实践提供信息的能力,但可能需要一种心理社会理性模型来概念化实践中内化的“直觉”判断过程。
