English term (edited): clinical social workers

Trabajadores/asistentes sociales con especialización en práctica clínica / especializados en práctica clínica o especializados en salud mental y drogadicción.

En http://www.bls.gov/oco/ocos060.htm (página del US Department of Labor) dice:
"**Mental health and substance abuse social workers** assess and treat individuals with mental illness or substance abuse problems, including abuse of alcohol, tobacco, or other drugs. Such services include individual and group therapy, outreach, crisis intervention, social rehabilitation, and training in skills of everyday living. They also may help plan for supportive services to ease patients’ return to the community. Mental health and substance abuse social workers are likely to work in hospitals, substance abuse treatment centers, individual and family services agencies, or local governments. **These social workers may be known as clinical social workers**."

Y en la página de la asociación que los nuclea (http://www.socialworkers.org/register/default.asp) podrás leer los dos tipos de " clinical social workers" que reconocen. Y los dos deben tener un MA o un PhD.
