What Is Social Work?

Attached is an article entitled, “What is Social Work?”  This article discusses the new definition of Social Work being voted on by The International Federation of Social Workers and the International Association of Schools of Social Work.  Interesting to read the definition from 1957 and compare it with the proposed definition of today.
