Discussion
Which one of the following most adequately defines the nature of social work ?
Answer: D
The nature of social work is best defined as problem solving by using unique knowledge, skills and attitude.
Social work is a helping profession that helps individuals, groups and communities solve problems in social functioning, drawing on a distinctive body of knowledge, practice skills and professional values, as in Helen Harris Perlman's problem-solving model.
Social propaganda is persuasion, not help. Psychological testing belongs to psychology, and enforcing legislation is the work of the police and courts; social workers may use laws but do not enforce them.
