In this article, we highlight the results of an international qualitative study which used focus groups of social workers to explore post-disaster decision-making. The study focused on the impact of September 11th and other disasters, both natural and man-made, on the professional practice of social work practitioners. The main research question centered on the dissonance experienced by social workers when agency resource reductions (e.g., time, space, budgetary, technological, etc.), or agency policies/procedures/practices impacted their ability to deliver services deemed necessary.
