Abstract:
This article reviews the Model State Social Work Practice Act approved by the American Association of State Social Work Boards in 1998. The limitations of the definition of social work practice included in the model stature, inclusion of BSWs and social workers employed by public and nonprofit agencies, the promulgation of dual codes of ethics, and lack of assurance of effective services are discussed. Strategies for political action to benefit consumers, the public, and social workers are provided.
