Values and Ethics in Social Work by Chris Beckett
This lively and readable introductory text is designed to equip students with a sound understanding of the principles of values and ethics which no social worker should be without.
"This book is a worthy addition to the literature, and anyone who is engaged in educating students regarding values and ethics would likely find it usefulThis text is successful at "starting where the student is" when entering into the often charged territory of values. Backett and Maynard have understood clearly that students often need more guidance in examining their own values and assumptions, and how these lead us to very different ways of thinking about ethical dilemmas. It would be a helpful resource in approaching the teaching of values and ethics in social work." -- Suzanne Bushfield * The Journal of Contemporary Social Services *
