| | Social Work Examining and Disciplinary Board |
| | Social workers were first regulated in 1967. In 1989, the Act was rewritten to expand the definition of |
| | social work and create the licensed clinical social worker and licensed social worker categories. Social |
| | work practice means the providing of mental health services for the evaluation, treatment, and prevention |
| | of mental and emotional disorders in individuals, families and groups based on knowledge and theory of |
| | psychosocial development, behavior, psychopathology, unconscious motivation, interpersonal |
| | relationships, and environmental stress. The Board is made up of nine persons who serve in an advisory |
| | capacity and are appointed by the Secretary, consisting of six licensed clinical social workers, two |
| | licensed social workers and one public member. The Board advises the Secretary on questions involving |
| | standards of professional conduct, discipline and qualifications of candidates and licensees under the Act. |
