Abstract

In this brief debate article we respond to Cunfu Jia's criticism of our article 'Defining the Profession?' (International Journal of Social Work 16: 382-389). We address the issue of 'evidence' and the issue of the applicability to China of the global definition of social work. We suggest that although debate articles by their very nature risk generating false dichotomies, they provide an important and welcome opportunity to explore commonality and difference and to develop our knowledge and thinking as a result of an international exchange of views.
