Fundamental Ethical Issues in Social Work: An Essay Review

Abstract

Discussions of social work ethics have traditionally been concerned with identifying values considered central to the profession and establishing guidelines for relationships between social work practitioners and their clients, colleagues, and employers. This article considers the implications of Gewirth's Reason and Morality as it applies to the justification of social work values and the profession's ethical guidelines. Questions are raised concerning how ethical guidelines are established and the application of particular ethical principles in social work practice.
