Conducting qualitative research with parents who are social workers reveals some interesting and surprising insights about how personal experience influences professional practice. This paper reports on research conducted with a group of sixteen ACT social workers. The aim of the research was to explore whether social workers who are parents regard the experience gained from parenting as a positive adjunct to their professional practice. The research participants identify, through group and individual interviews, that the experience gained from parenting not only strengthens their practice but in turn their professional roles enhance their parenting. The construction of personal and professional boundaries is also influenced by their caring roles. The boundary on the one hand is regarded as permeable, to allow for the meaningful transferability of work experience and yet the importance of maintaining separateness between the work and family sphere is regarded as an important survival strategy. These research findings highlight important aspects of the use of self in social work and confirm the need to encourage social workers to develop the skills of reflective practice. |
