Abstract

In the USA, there are Doctorate of Social Work (DSW) programs that emphasize the practice dimension for professionals who want to enhance their clinical knowledge and skills, without intending to pursue an academic career. These programs aim to expand the clinical knowledge and skills of social workers, encourage evidence-based practice, and therefore differ from traditional doctoral programs. The uncontrolled growth of social work departments in Turkey in recent years and the scarcity of faculty members in these departments who can teach clinical courses such as social work theories, interviewing principles and techniques have made DSW programs appealing. Additionally, the limited number of postgraduate programs where social workers can gain clinical skills makes it necessary to establish DSW programs. This study examines the historical development of DSW programs, their objectives, and the aspects where they diverge from conventional doctoral programs. Furthermore, DSW programs of five different universities in the USA were examined by analyzing their respective web pages. In this way, information about DSW programs and their requirements was provided to the national literature and thereby underscoring the need for the introduction of practical doctoral programs in Turkey.

Özet

ABD’de profesyonel meslek elemanı olarak çalışan, klinik bilgi ve becerilerini arttırmak isteyen ve akademiye yönelme hedefi olmayanlar için uygulama boyutuna ağırlık veren Uygulamaya Dönük Doktora Programları (Doctorate of Social Work [DSW]) bulunmaktadır. Bu programlar sosyal hizmet uzmanlarının klinik bilgi ve becerilerini arttırmayı hedeflemekte, kanıta dayalı uygulama yapmalarını teşvik etmekte ve bundan ötürü geleneksel doktora programından farklılaşmaktadırlar. Türkiye’de son yıllarda sosyal hizmet bölüm sayısında meydana gelen kontrolsüz artış ve bu bölümlerde görev yaparak sosyal hizmet kuramları, görüşme ilke ve teknikleri gibi klinik dersleri verebilecek öğretim elemanı azlığı DSW programlarını cazip kılmıştır. Ayrıca sosyal hizmet uzmanlarının klinik beceri kazanacakları lisansüstü programların oldukça sınırlı sayıda olması da DSW programlarının açılmasını gerekli kılmaktadır. Bu çalışmada da DSW programlarının tarihsel gelişimleri, amaçları ve geleneksel doktora programlarından ayrıştıkları noktalara yer verilmiştir. Ayrıca ABD’de yer alan beş farklı üniversitenin DSW programları web sayfaları aracılığıyla incelenmiştir. Böylece DSW programları ve gereklilikleri hakkında ulusal alanyazına bilgi kazandırılmış ve Türkiye’de de uygulamaya dönük doktora programlarının açılması gerekliliğini ortaya konulmuştur.
