Editorial Reviews
Stephen Wilkinson, British Journal of Social Work
'A welcome addition to the social work ethics literature...has something to offer to both practitioners and academics.'
British Journal of Social Work
'...provides a comprehensive yet deep analysis on the ever changing context of social work practice... useful for academics teaching practical ethics, for social work students, and a real windfall for social work practitioners...'

Customer Reviews
covers a fundemental area for social workers. A must have!
The subject is by no means new, yet I found the book a perfect start for understanding the principles around the contruction of values and the dangers of having oppressive values. Banks' writing style is fluid and the language used means that the information is accessable. The Use of examples will help any student (or practising) Social Worker to focus on their own value base.
