The framework for a science of social work has been proposed, and its foundations in philosophy, history, and implications for education have been discussed in a recent issue of Research on Social Work Practice. There have also been two conferences to discuss its value to the profession. The purpose of this Roundtable is to review these developments, discuss emerging issues, and invite critical discussion of a science of social work and its utility to the profession.
