Ethical Decisions for Social Work Practice

by Ralph Dolgoff

This classic social work 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 guidelines, including two ethical screens to help social work practitioners identify priorities among competing ethical obligations.

This book definitely had good, relevant information to it. The book was well structured and the information well presented. However, my point of contention is some of these case example stories where there is an "ethical dilemma." Maybe it's just me and maybe I have a strong sense of professional/personal ethics but with a lot of these stories I knew exactly what I would do in that situation and the "dilemma" presented was almost laughable.

not a bad book but kinda hard to keep interested.
