Description
Summary:Opinions on educational & practice issues relating to clinical social work were solicited from 3 groups of professionally active MSWs: (1) members of state societies for clinical social work (N = 43); (2) nonmember clinical social workers (N = 38); & (3) nonmember social workers who were not clinicians (N = 20). Questionnaire responses indicate that members of state societies for clinical social work firmly endorse traditional social work values, but differ systematically in their opinions from clinicians who are not members of state societies for clinical social work, & from nonclinicians. Implications for formal organizations in social work are discussed. 2 Tables, 3 References. HA
