Abstract
Social workers – professionals who address challenges related to poverty, homelessness, mental illness, substance abuse, abuse and neglect, domestic violence, crime, aging, and other social problems – encounter a wide range of ethical issues. Ethical issues in social work involve efforts to assist individuals, couples, families, groups, organizations, and communities. Ethical issues may arise concerning confidentiality and privacy; client self-determination and professional paternalism; divided loyalties; professional boundaries; conflicts between professional and personal values; allocating limited resources; compliance with regulations and laws; labor–management disputes; social workers’ use of deception; collegial misconduct, incompetence, or impairment; and the phenomenon of whistle-blowing.
