Practical Social Work Ethics

This is the first text of its kind to deal exclusively with applied social work ethics. It focuses on an eclectic mix of difficult moral questions or issues encountered in much modern day practice. It is therefore not theoretically driven with some practical elements attached but is instead is a practice-based book where any theory introduced is linked to tangible practice situations. It is also thought-provoking controversial in parts and always engaging. With a focussed and clear writing style this book will be of interest to all social work students and practitioners interested in the practical yet complex moral ramifications of their applied role.
