商品描述
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.

這本書展示了道德品格在有效社會工作實踐中的核心角色。透過選取社會工作者的傳記，揭示了熟練的從業者如何在其職業生涯中培養出同情心、愛、承諾、謹慎、尊重人類尊嚴以及對社會正義的批判意識等核心美德，以及他們如何在各種環境和情境中應用這些美德，以提升他們所服務的人民和社區的福祉。因此，這本書提供了一個強大且鼓舞人心的資源，幫助教育工作者、學生和從業者理解社會工作者及其他社會福利和社會發展專業人士所做的工作與他們的身份之間不可分割的聯繫，從而培養應該被推廣的核心素質。
「Pawar、Hugman、Alexandra 和 Anscombe 找到了探索社會工作美德的新穎且創造性的方法，通過檢視一群從事『美德行動』的社會工作從業者的職業貢獻。他們的故事鼓舞人心，為正在展開賦權實踐的學生和從業者提供了急需的榜樣。」- 梅爾·格雷博士，社會工作教授，澳大利亞新南威爾士州紐卡斯爾大學。
「在一個真理、合作和『做正確的事』的美德在公共生活中日益被侵蝕的時代，這本書對所有尋求反思和改善其實踐的社會工作從業者來說，既是靈感的來源，也是無價的資源。」- 馬丁·瑞安博士，社會工作者、輔導員/社區教育者，耶穌會社會服務，墨爾本。
「編輯們值得讚揚，因為他們檢視了這十位專業社會工作者的美德品格。使用詳細的傳記是一種創新且重要的方法，幫助我們理解美德能夠產生的巨大影響。」- 克里斯蒂安·B·米勒博士，哲學A.C. Reid教授，角色計畫主任，美國維克森林大學。
