Informationen zum Autor Cowden, Stephen; Pullen-Sansfacon, Annie Klappentext The Ethical Foundations of Social Work provides you with an engaging, theoretical and practice-based grounding in social work ethics. The authors first examine when, how and why principles and debates historically emerged, then explicitly map them onto everyday ethical challenges and situations in social work practice. As a result, the book promotes an ethically conscious approach where principles can be flexibly and confidently applied as tools to help you with critical problem solving. "This text provides an excellent grounding in ethics. While it is aimed primarily at students of social work, it is relevant to nurses and other practitioners in health and social care, especially in its exploration of concepts such as empowerment, human dignity and universalism, and in its examination of professional values." - Bashyr Aziz, associate clinical teacher, University of Warwick, in Nursing Standard, Vol 26 No 24, 2012 "A thought-provoking text that masterfully draws on classic and contemporary theory to demonstrate the centrality of conscious ethical reasoning for social work practice today ... with currency for students at all levels of study, social work practitioners and those in academe." - Professor Sandra Drower, University of Winchester "A committed, accessible and timely text which deserves to be on the reading list of every social work programme. ... Pullen and Cowden remind us that social work is first and foremost an ethical profession." - Dr Iain Ferguson, University of Stirling Inhaltsverzeichnis Part 1: What is Social Work?
