A welcome addition to the social work ethics literature. Banks offers us some helpful analyses of recent trends and the book has something to offer to both practitioners and academics.' - Stephen Wilkinson, British Journal of Social Work;Does recent thinking on consumer rights, community care and anti-oppressive practice challenge traditional social work values? Should social workers feel guilt and blame when things go wrong? What role do codes of ethics play? This thoughtful and supportive book considers social work ethics and values in the context of current pressures and changes. Case studies and exercises are included to assist social workers in reflecting on practice and to help reduce feelings of guilt and anxiety in making difficult ethical decisions.
