A truly holistic understanding of practice wisdom must be developed to address the contemporary crisis in social work and to cater to the multiple needs of non-European and non-Christian communities, in particular. I propose that the distinctiveness and professionalism of social work can be found in the intersubjective encounters between clients and self-actualised social workers. In applying the Chinese interpretation of wisdom (i.e. zhi hui), practice wisdom in social work helps social workers connect knowledge to the heart in reflective practice. This humanistic attitude and embodied practical sense can be cultivated only by engaging with clients in unconditional and person-centred social work relationships
