The Concept That Professional Competence Is "Aspirational" Means That Social

The concept that professional competence is "aspirational" means that social workers should:

A) Strive for greater levels of knowledge and skill through ongoing reading, supervision, and other forms of professional development
B) Have the minimum amount of knowledge and skill required to perform particular social work tasks
C) Act as if they are very competent even if their level of competence is truly limited ("Fake it 'til you make it")
D) Do whatever they need to do to avoid malpractice lawsuits or ethics complaints from clients
