Social work can be for individuals, couples, families, groups, organizations, or communities.

When most people think of “social work”, they think of child abuse investigation and assistance for the poor. While these are two examples of social work, there are many more avenues through which social workers help others.

Social work is defined by the Texas Occupations Code as:

 

§ 505.0025. PRACTICE OF SOCIAL WORK. 

The practice of social work is that application of social work theory, knowledge, methods, ethics, and the professional use of self to restore or enhance social, psychosocial, or biopsychosocial functioning of individuals, couples, families, groups, organizations, or communities.

The practice of social work may include the provision of individual, conjoint, family, and group psychotherapy using the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, the International Classification of Diseases, and other diagnostic classification systems in assessment, diagnosis, treatment, and other activities by a person licensed under this chapter.
