SOCIAL WORK AS A PROFESSION

Before beginning to consider whether social work is or is not a profession, I must confess a very genuine doubt as to my competency to undertake the discussion. My acquaintance with social work, with the literature of social work, and with social workers is distinctly limited,-far too much so. Hence if the conclusions that I have reached seem to you unsound or academic, I beg you to understand that I should not be disposed to press them.
