Abstract
Brief excerpt from interview: Most of [the students] go into Social Work because they have had a certain set of life experiences that they think helps them to become better helpers, that predisposes them. And I would argue that they are right. What I typically do is say, 'Look, for the first semester, I want you to suspend your life experiences just for a little while and I want you to focus on research and I want you to focus on data. What I want to see on the back side, when you walk out of here, I want you to be able to fully own and fully have your unique set of life experiences, but I want that also to be understood in a larger context of what the research tells us.'
