Ethical Issues in Social Work, Paperback / softback Book

Ethical Issues in Social Work Paperback / softback

Edited by Richard Hugman, David Smith

Part of the Professional Ethics series

Paperback / softback

Description

It has always been recognised that the practice of social work raises ethical questions and dilemmas.

Recently, however, traditional ways of addressing ethical issues in social work have come to seem inadequate, as a result of developments both in philosophy and in social work theory and practice.

This collection of thought-provoking essays explores the ethics of social work practice on the light of these changes. Ethical Issues in Social Work provides up to date critical analyses of the ethical implications of new legislation in community care and criminal justice, and of trends in social work thought and policy, such as managerialism, user empowerment, feminism and anti-oppressive practice. This study provides important and stimulating reading for social work students and their teachers, and for all practitioners and managers who are concerned about the ethical dimensions of their work.
