Ethical Decisions for Social Work Practice

Book Description
This classic social work text helps students recognize ethical issues and dilemmas, reason carefully about ethical issues, clarify their ethical aspirations at the level demanded by the profession, and achieve a more ethical stance in their practice. It places ethical decision-making within the context of professional ethics and provides guidelines, including two ethical screens to help social work practitioners identify priorities among competing ethical obligations.
