"Ethics and values are the cornerstone of good social work practice, are vital in upholding the dignity of service users. However, modern-day social workers live in times of unparalleled ethical complexity: good social work requires doing the right thing, in the right way, at the right time, with the right people (and in the right spirit). Applying ethics and values to everyday practice will never be simple. Leading experts from around the world explore the concept of what 'good' social work practice is and how it has evolved, and examine what these changes mean for ethics and values."--Provided by publisher.
