Social work is an interrelated system of :

  • A.theory and practice
  • B.methods and techniques
  • C.values, theory and practice
  • D.assumptions, theory and practice

Answer: C

Social work is an interrelated system of values, theory and practice.

Standard definitions of the profession describe it as resting on three linked elements: a value base (the worth and dignity of every person, social justice, self-determination), a body of theory drawn from the social and behavioural sciences, and practice through its methods and skills. The values guide how the theory is applied in practice.

Theory and practice alone leave out values, which are what make social work a profession rather than a technique. Methods and techniques are part of practice, and 'assumptions' is not one of the three elements.
