Description
Values and Ethics in Social Work by Chris Beckett, Andrew Maynard, and Peter Jordan is an essential resource for student social workers. Understanding one's own ethical assumptions is crucial for making informed decisions that benefit service users. This Third Edition explores the principles of values and ethics in two parts. The first part examines broader concepts such as philosophy, religion, politics, and realism, while the second part delves into how these general principles apply to everyday practice, including power dynamics, self-determination, and working with diverse perspectives. By reading this book, you'll gain a deeper understanding of the importance of ethical awareness in social work practice.
