Resolving Ethical Dilemmas
Presenter:
Ruth Lipschutz
Description: Ethical dilemmas
are situation where social workers are confronted by two
or more conflicting obligations, which independently
would be equally upheld. In an ethical dilemma, acting
on one
value or duty automatically violates the other one.
Ethical dilemmas challenge us to prioritize
values, aspects of the code of ethics and applicable
regulations. Some areas of competing values may include
confidentiality, self-determination, dual-relationships,
conflict of interest and best
interest of clients. High standards of practice and
avoidance of complaints and law suits requires social
workers to be able to identify and successfully resolve
ethical dilemmas. In this workshop
participants will learn the following: Clear
definition of ethics, How to identify an ethical dilemma, Steps to resolve
ethical dilemmas, Template for rank ordering duties, Appropriate use of
supervision and consultation, and Documentation requirements.
