About your course materials
Part of the Brooks/Cole Empowerment Series, this ninth edition integrates the core competencies and practice behaviors outlined in the 2008 Educational Policy and Accreditation Standards (EPAS) set by the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE).This classic text helps students recognize ethical issues and dilemmas, reason carefully about ethical issues, clarify their ethical aspirations at the level demanded by the profession, and achieve a more ethical stance in their practice. It places ethical decision making within the context of professional ethics and provides useful guidelines, including two ethical screens to help social work practitioners identify priorities among competing ethical obligations. Developed specifically for social workers, it features numerous case-like exemplars based on real-world practice, drawn from a variety of social work settings. This comprehensive and uniquely focused text is equally effective as a core resource for social work ethics courses, or as a valuable supplement within introductory, practice, or practicum courses.

A new pre-test assesses familiarity with the Code of Ethics and key ethical concepts, while the final chapter addresses participation in interdisciplinary teams and power differentials among different professions. From start to finish, the text reflects a keen awareness of practical considerations for social work professionals.
Extensive new material on ethical theories includes information on the latest trends and thinking and exploration of several theories in greater depth, including the ethics of caring, feminist ethics, and virtue ethics.
The new edition devotes greater attention to macro issues and advocacy through increased emphasis on the last two sections of the code of ethics: social workers’ ethical responsibilities to the social work profession and social workers’ ethical responsibilities to the broader society.
Additional sections give greater emphasis to important current topics for today’s professionals, including spirituality; whistle blowing and advocacy; macro social work practice; social justice; discrimination regarding sexual orientation; and violence and practitioners.
