Synopsis

Child welfare professionals address serious human needs amid complex clinical, ethical, and political circumstances. Principles such as confidentiality, informed consent, and self-determination become more complicated when clients rights and choices are constrained by age, maturity, and legal and parental prerogatives. With these issues in mind, the author introduces memorable frameworks for understanding ethical dilemmas and ethical decision-making and applies the frameworks to cases from an array of youth-service settings. The author s conversational style provides an accessible treatment of complex topics and makes this book a valuable and practical resource for anyone working with children.
