| | 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. |
