This book demonstrates the central role of ethical character in
effective social work practice. Showcasing select biographies of
social workers, it reveals how skilled practitioners have developed
such core virtues as compassion, love, commitment, prudence,
respect for human dignity and a critical sense of social justice
through the course of their working lives, and how they apply these
virtues in a wide variety of settings and situations to enhance the
well-being of the people and communities they work with. As such,
the book offers a powerful and inspiring resource to help
educators, students and practitioners understand the unbreakable
link between what social workers and other social welfare and
social development professionals do and who they are, and thereby
cultivate core qualities that should be promoted. "Pawar, Hugman,
Alexandra and Anscombe have found a novel and creative way to
explore virtues in social work by examining the career
contributions of a group of social work practitioners engaged in
'virtuous action'. Their stories are inspiring and they provide
much-needed role models for students and practitioners embarking on
empowering practice" - Dr. Mel Gray, Professor of Social Work, The
University of Newcastle. New South Wales, Australia. "In an age
where the virtues of truth, cooperation and "doing the right thing"
are increasingly being eroded in public life, this book serves as
both an inspiration and invaluable resource to all social work
practitioners seeking to reflect on, and improve their practice" -
Dr. Martin Ryan, Social Worker, Counsellor/Community Educator,
Jesuit Social Services, Melbourne. "The editors are to be commended
for examining the virtuous characters of these ten professional
social workers. The use of detailed biographies is an innovative
and important approach which helps us to appreciate just what a
tremendous impact the virtues can have." - Dr. Christian B. Miller,
A. C. Reid Professor of Philosophy, Director, The Character
Project, Wake Forest University, USA.
