Paradoxes in Social Work Practice: Mitigating Ethical Trespass

By Merlinda Weinberg

Book Overview

This book takes a new critical theoretical approach to ethical practice, which involves exploring how social workers construct what is 'ethical' in their work, especially when they are positioned at the intersection of multiple paradoxes, including that of two opposing responsibilities in society: namely, to care for others but also to prevent others from harm. The book is built on narratives from actual front-line workers and therefore is more applicable and grounded for practitioners and students, offering many suggestions for sound practice.
