Summary

Description

This comprehensive text explores a full range of perspectives on values in social work. Divided into four reader friendly parts, the authors consider practice, moral, social and spiritual value perspectives, highlighting their impact on and contribution to thinking and intervention in social working. Drawing on a range of international contributors this important text includes discussion of several new perspectives, such as Islam and New Age. Encouraging a comparative and critically reflective engagement with ethics across a diversity of perspectives is therefore essential reading for all students studying ethics and values.
