Review Quotes:
'It is an interesting and informative read, one that comprises ten chapters which include case studies to illustrate key points for practice. The author examines "critical aspects of culture, values, ethics and the professions" and shows how both shared humanity and the rich variety of cultures contribute to a more dynamic way of understanding social work's underpinning values and ethics...this book certainly merits the serious attention of under and post-graduate social work students, while experience practitioners and academics will certainly find it an essential read.' - PSW
