Talk:Clinical psychology/Comments

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The section regarding clinical social work needs improvement. The statement that a MSW degree is generally considered a professional degree and not an academic one displays an interprofessional bias between some social workers and psychologists, a turf war as to who is qualified to perform which tasks. As a result, this section of the article has a bias. The statement that the MSW degree is profession vs. academic does not have a citation or site sources, neither cross citations within Wiki, no professional social work resources.

Some MSW programs require significant committment to research, including a master's thesis, high standards of scholarship. Social work publications, such as the Smith Studies for Social Work, a psychoanalytic social work journal, and even the NASW journal, "Social Work," are quite academic in nature.

Until that section is improved, I would proposed that a "neutrality dispute" label be placed upon it. Author is stating his or her opinions of the MSW degree, with no citations or research.

Thank you.
