Dilemmas and Decision Making in Social Work is a comprehensive collection of narratives designed to assist social workers in navigating complex dilemmas, evaluating various options, and making informed decisions. Presented in the first person from the perspective of a social worker, each case study begins with the service user's story, followed by the application of relevant theory. It showcases the challenges social workers face when venturing beyond their own frames of reference, seeking expertise from others, overcoming barriers to collaboration with other professionals, and resolving disagreements. Where appropriate, the emotional impact of the work is emphasized, and strategies for managing it are discussed.
In summary, this book offers a unique approach by starting with the human story and then considering which theory applies. It demonstrates thinking in action through concise examples of real-time challenges and the effective strategies employed to address them. Packed with valuable reflective questions, this resource is particularly useful for students and new workers seeking to gain insights into practice in areas where they may lack experience. Moreover, it serves as a valuable tool for understanding how decisions are made reflexively in the moment, regardless of an individual's level of experience. By learning from the experiences of established workers, this book empowers students and new professionals to develop a deeper understanding of the complexities of social work and make informed decisions that contribute to positive outcomes for service users.
