Using evidence from research with practitioners, integrated with
wider material about virtue ethics in the helping professions, this
book explores important types of virtue that are central to
developing and sustaining excellence in social work. Comprised of
ten chapters and drawing on extensive research with social workers
as well as wider debates and analysis, the discussion carefully
concentrates on everyday experiences and achievements. This
approach enables the book to avoid an idealized and prescriptive
approach by making clear that virtues vary between contexts and
individuals, while at the same time clearly marking out qualities
and characteristics of social work that are foundational to the
development of practitioners and of the profession as a whole. It
will be required reading for students on all BSc/BSW and MSc/MSW
courses on professional ethics or preparation for practice. It will
also be of interest to practitioners in other professions,
including human services, health, education and social development
or development studies.

This textbook features a groundbreaking collection of chapters
co-written by Aboriginal authors. Informed by current field
expertise, it provides an innovative teaching resource that
recognizes and appreciates Aboriginal ways of knowing, being and
doing, and demonstrates a commitment to decolonizing and
reconciliation within social work and Allied Health. Aboriginal
Fields of Practice explores many areas that have not been discussed
before in contemporary Australia, including discussion of practice
in criminal justice and an understanding of rural and remote
practice. This valuable text will provide an excellent grounding
for students and practitioners working with Aboriginal peoples.
