“…Despite the numerous studies outlining the benefits of CSL initiatives (Bringle & Hatcher, 1999, 2009; Brundiers et al, 2011; Calvert, 2011, 2012; de Janasz & Whiting, 2009; Einfeld & Collins, 2008; Giles & Eyler, 1994; Lester et al, 2005; Pless et al, 2011; Primavera, 1999; Rama et al, 2000; Sheil & Bahk, 2010), there is a dearth of research on how CSL courses can impact students already in the “helping professions.” More specifically, there is very little research on the benefits of CSL in social work field education courses (Charles & Dharamsi, 2010; Charles et al, 2014; Charles et al, 2011). Experience in the field is a fundamental component of social work education.…”
