Abstract
Cognitive theories have established a strong position in social work theory during the 1980s primarily through the work of H. Goldstein (1981, 1984a). Part of the reason for this may be increasing interest in cognitive approaches in psychology and counselling, leading to the availability of more work and broader interests in related occupations. There has also been more time for cognitive theory and practice to develop and mature; and social work’s movement away from heavy reliance on psychodynamic theory in the 1970s has probably opened up the possibility of using a range of psychological approaches.
