Offering insights into the experience of abuse and the often conflicting emotions of the children concerned through carefully chosen examples, this book aims to help managers and practitioners understand how to deal with child abuse.

The third edition of this work on ethics in social work includes sections on radical and emancipatory and postmodern approaches to ethics. There are case studies of ethical problems and dilemmas and practical exercises plus annotated further reading lists at the end of each chapter.

This 4th edition of Veronica Coulshed and Joan Orme's classic text retains the strengths of the original text but has been meticulously revised to reflect changes in social work. It is probably the all-time best-selling introduction to social work.
