"The prize that my eye is always on, however, is the integration of practice and research, not for its own sake or to enhance the status of social work, but in the interest of those we serve and should be serving. To me, that is the essence of professionalism."
"...the integration of practice and research in social work is essential to social work's effectiveness and survival as a profession."
"...seeking ways to successfully engage practitioners in research studies, research consumption, research ways of thinking, and ultimately, research utilization."
"...practice and research are inextricably linked."
"...the Council on Social Work Education require that schools of social work prepare their students to 'engage in research-informed practice and practice-informed research.' "
--Irwin Epstein in Clinical Data-Mining
