Abstract:  The ITP(Integration of Theory and Practice) circular pattern proposed by Marion Bogo and Elaine Vayda provides a new way to solve the problem of disconnection of theory and practice for social workers. Through the continuous cycle of this process which examines the value system of social workers and their conditions of professional knowledge from the recalling to reflection, coupling, and then to the professional response, the social workers can complete the professional intervention to service targets. The use of ITP circular pattern further enriches the evidenceoriented theory in social work, but the internalization of this mode needs social worker′s personal efforts, professional supports from the supervisors, and system support of professional service agencies.

Key words:  ITP circular pattern, social work supervision, evidenceoriented theory
