The %nternational 5-ecutive 6ommittee of %SW and the 7oard of %ASSW have both
agreed upon a 8pointintime/ 2raft %nternational 2efinition of Social Work that takes
into account the feedback and submissions received so far. This new draft formall#
starts the final consultation phase! which is from April to 2ecember *+,9
As a contribution to this debate! it is proposed that the AASW consider the following
suggestions! including making the case for the use of So%ialWor1 as the visualidentification and trade mark of personnel who are "ualified members of %SW
professional associations.
SocialWorkers combine eclectic theories of support for individuals! families! groups
and communities of interest in their interactions with each other and through specific
application of processes of strategic thinking that generate homeothetic selfesteem
and homeostatic social development.
