Ethical considerations are central to social work, yet there are often situations where values conflict. This text looks at real life case studies of ethical problems in the areas of: respecting rights, negotiating roles and boundaries, being fair, challenging and developing organisations and working with policy and politics. "Editor Banks et al. presents this book focusing on global ethics in social work. The academic and practicing contributors present case studies and commentary relating to various ethics themes in social work. Each chapter also contains three discussion questions. The volume is intended as a versatile study aide providing ethics guidance with each section serving as a stand-alone reference. This material is intended for students and practitioners of international social work and professional ethics."-Book News "This book provides a valuable commentary on this debate which it illustrates by including accounts of real-life cases from around the world life." - Richard Martin, Probation Journal 2012 "The editors have certainly done us a favour by bringing together so much rich material in one place. I confess that I have already used one of the cases in my teaching (to good effect I think) and I will be plundering the book for more inspiration in the future. I will also be recommending it to students - particularly those on post-qualifying courses? I also think that many will welcome the light that the cases and the commentaries throw on the difficult worlds that they work in." - Practice: Social Work in Action, June 2013
