2. Social Work Values & Ethics: Reflections on the Professional Odyssey
Frederic G Reamer Advances In Social Work Vol 6 (1), 2005
Abstract
Social Worker’s understanding of ethics has matured significantly. This article traces the
professional’s approach.
During its history, social work has moved through four major periods: The morality period,
the values period, the ethical theories and decision-making period, and the ethical standards
and risk-management, (the prevention of ethical complaints and ethics-related lawsuits), is
diverting social workers from in-depth exploration of core professional and personal values,
ethical dilemmas, and the nature of the profession’s moral mission.
The author encourages the profession to recalibrate its focus on values and ethics.
The Evolution of Social Work Ethics: Bearing Witness Frederic G Reamer
Abstract
The evolution of ethical standards in social work, and concptual frameworks for examining ethical issues, is among the
most compelling developments in the history of the profession.
Since the formal inauguration of social work in the late 19th century, the profession has moved from relatively simplistic
and moralistic perspectives, to conceptually rich ananlyses of ethical issues and ethical guidelines.
This article examines the evolution of social work ethics from the profession’s earliest days and speculates about future
challenges and directions
