From the very beginning of Social Work, human needs have long been part of social work theory, practice and research as an implicit conceptual foundation but practically it has long been a neglected and contested concept in the published literature of social work though social work has been instrumental in meeting the various needs of individuals. Social Work Practice in the field of mental health is also not an exception for the same. The need of an hour is to explicitly discuss the role of social work in meeting the human needs on the research and literature; the practice of which has already begun. It will have a significant influence on the contemporary practice of Psychiatric Social Work as well in India.
