Items related to Ethical Dilemmas in Social Work Practice
Our Culture's conflicting ethical and political points of view make the adoption of a unified set of social work values impractical. What is needed , and what this book provides, is an understanding of our conflicting perspectives, presented in a away that enables social workers to make informed ethical choices. This book focuses on ethical dilemmas facing social workers daily. Each chapter centers on a specific case. Through examining resolutions to the case, social workers can compare the different assumptions underlying professional choices , and come to understand their own ethical point of view more fully. Both undergraduate and graduate students in social work will find this an indispensable text. Students of applied ethics can use the book to study the practical application of ethical perspectives, including the virtue approach, and assess the value of an informed relativism.
