I think there is no doubt that this particular piece of information should be reintroduced into the definition of clinical social work services. Additionally, it is important to clarify, include and cover social workers not in private practice but working in the medical profession such as nursing home, rehab facilities and hospitals. It is imperative for the integrity of the profession that individuals who have not actively practiced or are attempting to reinstate or reactivate their license, have some sort of supervision and additional hours of CEUs completed before being allowed to do so. Finally, I support the previous suggestion that LCSWs be allowed to independently complete home studies and home evaluations for individuals.
