David Howe

I am Professor of Social Work. After an early career as a child care officer and social worker, in 1976 I began my present career as a university researcher and teacher.

Research
The problem of child abuse and neglect has been a subject of concern and interest since my days as a child care officer. A developmental and attachment perspective has informed my research and writing in this field. I have a strong commitment to translating the findings of research into practice. Working closely with practitioners over many years has helped produce evolving models of assessment and intervention. As many abused and neglected children are eventually placed for adoption, my research interests have also extended into the world of permanent placement. The study of adoption outcomes, including search and reunion experiences in adulthood, has run in parallel with the child maltreatment research. More recently, an appreciation of children’s emotional development has expanded into a more general interest in emotional intelligence including the part that emotional intelligence plays in the conduct of sound social work practice. Possessed of the belief that there is nothing so practical as a good theory, the role of social work theory runs through most of my research and writing.
