 Four (4)areas of consideration
Morales and Sheafor (1983)

 1. In each helping situation, the social worker is

concerned with enabling or facilitating change.
Interventions to improve the quality of life may
appropriately occur as part of the social work
practice.

 2. The social worker is in the business of helping

people or social institutions, such as family, change
to enhance social functioning. It is not to focus on

can be viewed as a profession that helps people

of person and the environment” (William Gordon, as
cited by Morales and Sheafor, 1983).

 4. In helping to achieve their goals of improved

social functioning, the social worker must have
handles in fortifying and securing the necessary
resources to attain the goals of the clients.
