Human service workers and criminal justice system In the given case there is argument whether human service workers can provide psychotherapy treatment to the people. Because the social workers may have good intention for helping the needy people but at the same time they are not professional in providing psychotherapeutic counseling. The initial issue was that state police office had shared the information with licensed clinical social worker but at the same time the later do not have authority to gather such information. It is also true that an individual cannot identify the needs of psychotherapeutic counseling unless a professional or social worker counsels the subject. A licensends social worker are people who have a licenses that authorizes them to practice social work, and this includes but not limited too social service helping individual take part in group or communities in any of the fields of social case loads, social group work, social welfare as community organizations, doing social work research, education and social welfare administration. Therefore the licensed clinical social worker is right person to provide human service to share information about people who need psychotherapy treatment. The practice of social work in North Carolina and many other states has been defined as a professional outreach activity that helps individuals, community enhancement, and groups put together their capacity of social and economical functioning socially and professionally with applications of majority social work values, all principles and their main techniques in most areas such as dinical social work, social service, social planning, social work consultation, administration, and social work research to one or more of the following. 1. Helping individuals obtain tangable services, 2. Help different communities or groups provide or improve
