BioSketch Professor Emeritus Siri Jayaratne has been studying the effects of work stress on the health and well-being of social workers since 1979. His program of research has included four national surveys of social workers, as well as a study of social workers and their spouses. Jayaratne is also exploring aspects of client violence towards social workers in the workplace. In a related project, he and his collaborators are examining practice standards, the behaviors social workers engage in when they see a client, and the worker's judgments about the appropriateness of such behaviors. Other areas of research/scholarly interest: social work practice; practice evaluation; program evaluation. He retired in June 2009.
