Abstract: | Decision making and assessment are complex processes in social work that demand a deep understanding of values, knowledge and skills. Social work has always grappled with its professional identity, often perceived as a profession with limited core knowledge, as underscored in 1915 Flexner’s key speech (Flexner, 2001). This handbook is a testament to the fact that social work has its own growing body of knowledge applicable to the social work process. By showcasing this knowledge, the handbook validates the profession and contributes to establishing a distinct professional social work identity. |
