Much of the social work literature addresses questions of theory and ethics separately, so that the body of thought that is represented in social work scholarship and research creates a distinction between them. However, the differences between these categories of thought can be somewhat arbitrary. For example, feminist theory and feminist ethics are often interlinked, as can be environmental theory and ethics, or post-structural and postmodern theory and ethics. This volume seeks to go beyond this simple separation of categories. Although it recognises that questions of theory and ethics may be addressed distinctly, the connections between them can be made evident and drawn out by analysing them alongside each other. Social work's use and development of theory can be understood in two complementary ways. First, theory from the social sciences and other disciplines can be applied for social work; second, considered, systematic examinations of practice have enabled theory to be developed out of social work. These different approaches are usually referred to as 'theory for practice' and 'practice theory'. The advancement of social work theory occurs often through the interplay between these two dimensions, through research and scholarship in the field. Similarly, social work ethics draw on principles and concepts that have their roots in philosophical inquiry and also involve applied analysis in the particular issues with which social workers engage and their practices in doing so. In this way social work contributes to wider debates through advancement of its own perspectives and knowledge gained through practice. Theory and Ethics of Social Work offers a unique approach by bringing together the complementary dimensions of theory with each other and at the same time with ethical research and scholarship. In this way it presents an analysis of the ideas of social work in a way that enables connections between them to be identified and explored. This reference is essential reading for social work practitioners, researchers, policy-makers, academics and students, as well as an invaluable resource for universities, research institutes, government ministries and departments, major non-governmental organisations, and professional associations of social work. 410 0$aSocial Work,$x2946-5060 606 $aSocial service 606 $aSocial service?Research 606 $aCommunity development 606 $aEthics 606 $aTheory and Method in Social Work 606 $aSocial Work Research 606 $aSocial Work and Community Development 606 $aMoral Philosophy and Applied Ethics 606 $aSocial Work 615 0$aSocial service. 615 0$aSocial service?Research. 615 0$aCommunity development. 615 0$aEthics. 615 14$aTheory and Method in Social Work. 615 24$aSocial Work Research. 615 24$aSocial Work and Community Development. 615 24$aMoral Philosophy and Applied Ethics. 615 24$aSocial Work. 676 $a361.301 702 $aHölscher$b Dorothee$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aHugman$b Richard$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aMcAuliffe$b Donna$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910559388103321 996 $aSocial Work Theory and Ethics$92832808 997 $aUNINA
