dc.description.abstract | Richard Hugman and Jan Carter have published a book that is timely and relevant to, as they say, social work in turbulent times. With 15 chapters from contributors in Australia, Canada, the USA, UK, South Africa and Hong Kong, they have successfully created a text that moves discussions of values and ethics in social work to a new level and depth. The opening preface of the book is chilling in its description of a ‘small, steamy, tropical island in the Pacific, denuded of its natural resources first by colonisation and then by commercial rent seekers, and now hoping to earn its way by hosting refugee detention camps for wealthy Western nations’ (p. vii). The case unfolds to show how social workers are placed in an unenviable position of having to uphold professional values, while being employed by organisations that perpetuate human rights violations. This theme is continued throughout the book in a number of chapters, where the connections between human rights, social justice and social work ethics are debated and delineated. Many cases are used to illustrate the complexities of assessing need, intervening on the basis of a multitude of factors and reflecting on alternate possibilities. | |
