Abstract
The book is organised into three distinct but interrelated sections. The first section provides an orientation to the social work profession by addressing a critical ontological question on what the social work profession is. It defines the essence and fundamental characteristics of what constitutes the social work profession. In elaborating in this, critical themes such as social work values and ethics, theories for social work practice, social welfare policy and legislation in South Africa, and the critical history of social work in South Africa are explored.
