Abstract
Based on the author's conviction that professional social work practice requires assertive self-expression skills of a high order, this study undertook to examine the assertiveness of MSW students at a school of social work in the Western United States. Focusing on this dimension of assertiveness, the study compared males with females, members of minority ethnic groups with nonminority students, casework students with students concentrating in other methods, and beginning students with graduating students.
