Professor Corey Shdaimah and doctoral student alums Drs. Lauren McCarthy, Rachel Imboden, and Patrice Forrester were published in the Hybrid Social Work: Contested Knowledge, Fragile Collaboration and Social Citizenship (Edward Elgar Press; Ivan Harslof, Simon Innvær, Dag Jenssen, Wenche Bekken, and Ingo Bode, Editors). The volume examines the evolving hybrid nature of social work within modern welfare states and how human service providers engage with a variety of other providers and logics, such as medical, psychological, educational and law
Shdaimah, McCarthy, Imboden, and Forrester’s chapter, "Value Conflicts: How US Social Workers Manage the Ethics of Outsider Practice," examines social workers’ lived experiences of identifying and managing ethical challenges. They report on findings from a qualitative study of interviews with US-based master's-level social workers (N=23). The chapter begins with a case study as a framework to present findings on ethical challenges faced by social workers engaged in hybrid practice, which they define as a setting or an institution that does not have social work practice as its primary mission. The authors provide a typology of management strategies employed by social workers at the intersection of their sense of efficacy and characteristics of their hybrid practice setting: seeking support, overt and covert resistance, and compartmentalizing/avoidance. We describe these three approaches and the implications of this research for social work education and supervision.
