Theory and practice are interdependent. Sailing without a charted course leads to uncertainty, while remaining on shore provides no experience. Theories help challenge underlying assumptions and common sense, which are often just prejudices acquired during childhood. Evidence-based practice using research studies is preferable to decisions based on intuition or habit alone. Theories can aid practitioners by providing a framework to systematically gather and apply knowledge.
