This is an argument put forward by many leaders in the clinical segment of the social work profession (Baird, 1982;Blanck, 1979;Lieberman, 1982;Mishne, 1976Mishne, , 1980Pinkus et al, 1977;Strean, 1974Strean, , 1976Strean, ,1978Turner, 1978).

This is the third in a series of reoorts on the "dual professional identity" of the social work-psych'oanalyst based on findings from the "MPI" Project, an em~incal study conducted at a large ~sychoanalytic training hstitute. The MPI study was designed . to answer two questions: Do social work-psychoanalysts demon- strate the .attributes of membershio in the social work orofession? Are social w~r k -~s~c h o a n a l~s t s di~lin~uishable from ;heir fellow osvchoana~vsts in ~svcholonv?The theoretical orientations of the .social work: and p~ychologi~psychoanalysts in the MPI sample were investigated utilizing both self-reports of preferred theoretical schools and a smclured research instrument, the "Theoretical OrientationQuestionnaire." With one exception, no statistically significant differences between the two disciplineswere observed. The relevance of these findings to the claim promulgated by leaders in clinical social work that social workers practice a uniquely orientated psychotherapy is discussed. This is the third in a series of reports on the professional identity of the social work-psychoanalyst, In the first of these papers (Perlman, 1994a), the professional identity of the psychoanalyst was characterized as a "dual professional identity" because the psychoanalyst is simultaneously a member of two professional communities.

“…A vigorous collective effort was mounted to overcome this opposition, entailing the formulation of counter-arguments in support of psychotherapy as a fully legitimate specialization in social work (e.g., Fizdale, 1975;Frank, 1980;Hollis, 1982;Hollis and Woods, 1981;Lieberman 1982;Mishne, 1976Mishne, ,1980Pinkus et al, 1977;Strean, 1974Strean, ,1978Strean, , 1980Turner, 1978) and the organization of new professional associations to funher advance the psychotherapeutic aspirations of social workers. The organization of the first state level clinical social work societies in the 1960's was followed by the establishment of the National Federation of State Societies for Clinical Social Work (NFSSCSW) in 1971 (Pharis, 1973;Pharis and Williams, 1984).…”
