The science of applied philosophy is modeled after the boulder model. The BM having been first developed by academicians, introduced by the Shakow Commission in 1947, and latter refined during the 1949 Boulder conference, the BM was intended to serve as framework for training graduate students in clinical psychology programs (Thrnbull & Dietz-Uhler, 1995). Additionally described by Thrnbull and Dietz-Uhler (1995) as utilizing courses, seminars, fieldwork, and research it its training programs we are able to extend the BM applicability beyond academic settings into to the field of practice.
Philosophers must consider how research may be conducted during the course of our practice. While implementing research in practice, Thrnbull and Dietz-Uhler (1995) points our four key areas of concern which are practice, design, measurement and team development. Each are detailed as follows:
Practice. Issue of practice are mostly concerned with how conducting research will impact our service, as scientists we instead concern ourselves with measurable effects, articulating investigations, and whether we can effectively conduct research (Thrnbull & Dietz-Uhler, 1995).
Design. Issues of design are concerned with service denial, explanation, and collection and management of collected data (Thrnbull & Dietz-Uhler, 1995). When creating research plans, we need to ensure our designs are participant friendly so that our services are not denied. Not only must explain our proposed study, but also account for how we will present and implement our findings.
Measurement
Team Development
All scripture is given by inspiration of God and is profitable for doctrine, reproof, correction, and instruction in righteousness (2 Timothy 3:16).
