Ethical Dilemmas in Social Work Practice with Diverse Families: The Case of Marie “Ethical Dilemmas in Social Work: A Case Study Analysis”
For this assignment, identify the ethical issues at play in The Case of Marie, describe their potential consequences, and use the NASW Code of Ethics and other researched resources to apply a principled framework for resolving the dilemma.
This case involves an ethical dilemma with a diverse family, and the dilemma itself, like most ethical issues in group work, is potentially two-fold:
The dilemma among the family members, as well as the content and manner of their communication with you.
The ethical dilemma within yourself, as you examine your own natural preferences and biases in the context of the family and its needs.
At all levels of social work practice (micro, mezzo, and macro), the diversity of personal preferences and biases always presents the possibility of ethical compromise. Combined with potential ethical issues within the diverse situations, beliefs, and actions of the family members themselves, any given situation can quickly become ethically clouded.
