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.
