Synopsis

This text can be used as a main text for a social work ethics course, or as a supplement in introductory, practice, or practicum courses. It provides a unique integration of theory and practice, by presenting cases that evoke ethical dilemmas that students are likely to encounter in their practice, and offering models for classifying value conflicts and making ethical decisions.

The text incorporates the most up-to-date issues that students are likely to face in practice, including managed care, welfare reform, assisted suicide, child abuse and adoption, domestic violence, determining the capacity of the elderly, confidentiality in a high-tech age, lay-professional relationships, and conflicts between personal and professional values.

This how-to approach provides a way of thinking about values and ethics that permits the student or practitioner to make his or her own decisions, based on rational decision-making models. The author has provided numerous cases and a number of tables that encapsulate the ethical conflicts among the parties to help students visualize and understand the issues and processes involved in resolving ethical dilemmas.
