Which one of the following most adequately defines the nature of social work ?

  • A.Social propaganda
  • B.Administering psychological testing
  • C.Enforcing social legislation
  • D.Problem solving by using unique knowledge, skills and attitude

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.
