Gambrill (2001) states, “the growth of social work has not honored obligations in our code of ethics, for example to inform clients, to empower them, and to offer competent services. A great disconnect continues between what we say we do and value and what we actually do” (p.166). This is a general statement that is not totally true as my stand point as a practicum student. Like any organization the social work body has room for improvement however, honoring the code of ethics, improving the required competencies, and continuum progress is visible since Mary Ellen Richmond, Robert Holbrook Smith, and Jane Addams.
Although, not in complete agreement with Gambill’s statement current authority-based practice leaves lingering doubts when empowerment
