of social work involves the application of a special knowledge of social
resources, social systems, human capabilities, and the part that conscious and
unconscious motivation plays in determining behavior, and further recognizing
that social work profoundly affects the lives of people of the state of Idaho,
it is the legislative intent and purpose of this act to protect the public by
setting standards of qualification, education, training and experience, and
professional competence for those who engage in the practice of social work.
