<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>In this hugely accessible new book, Mark Doel guides the reader through a proper consideration of these questions by examining the typical ethical dilemmas that challenge social workers on a daily basis. Inquisitive, probing and intellectually stimulating, <i>Rights and Wrongs in Social Work</i> untangles the complexity of ethics in social work and argues that, by constantly questioning our assumptions and the situations we find ourselves in, we will eventually come to a better understanding of what is right. <p/>Each chapter of the book is centred on a different real-life dilemma that social workers might face on a typical day in practice - such as relationship boundaries, confidentiality and whistleblowing. Clear and enormously readable, it uses a wealth of creative and engaging features and techniques to support learning and encourage readers to apply theory to practice, including: <p/>- A vast array of vibrant case studies and detailed practice examples.<br>- Time Boxes to link chapter topics with ethical dilemmas from history.<br>- The Big Picture sections to place ethical issues into the wider frame of public policy.<br>- Discussion of the guidance available from official codes, standards and principles, such as the IFSW/ IASSW's joint Statement of Ethical Principles. <p/>An invaluable resource for students and practitioners alike, <i>Rights and Wrongs in Social Work</i> draws on the author's many years of experience in the field to successfully unpack the complex concepts of ethics and values in a clear, thought-provoking way.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br>In this hugely accessible new book, Mark Doel guides the reader through a proper consideration of these questions by examining the typical ethical dilemmas that challenge social workers on a daily basis.

This text provides a framework for the readers to consider their thinking in a balanced manner ... I will recommend this book to students both at undergraduate and post-graduate levels ... I enjoyed reading this book and will keep coming back to it." --<i>Hellmuth Weich, The British Journal of Social Work, Vol. 48 (5)</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p>Mark Doel is Professor Emeritus at Sheffield Hallam University, England.
