社会工作的价值观、冲突及对策

Ethics, Dilemmas and Strategies for Social Work Practice

社会工作的价值观由对人的看法和对社会的看法构成,社会工作的行为守则则是价值观的操作化。它可以帮助解决许多问题,也可能导致当事人的自由和福利、当事人权利和工作者权利、工作者的普通身份与专业身份、社会工作价值与其他社会体系的道德困境或价值冲突。社会工作者必须进行道德决策,在诸好或诸坏间进行平衡。中国社会工作的理论和实务工作者需要领悟传统文化的特性,整合以人为本和集体主义的理念,以融汇视角把握传统文化、外来文化和主流意识形态。引入西方社会工作的价值观和提炼传统文化的助人理念并举是中国社会工作良好发展的基础。

Ethics is an important issue of social work. Guiding principles for practitioners which base on the ethics are applied to solve many problems, but they might lead to some ethical dilemmas or conflicts such as clients' freedom and their welfare, clients' rights and practitioners'rights, general identities and professional identities of practitioners, ethics of social work and them of other systems. Practitioners must find the best strategy from some 'good's or 'bad' s to solve the ethical dilemmas. Chinese social workers have the obligation to insight the traditional Chinese culture, to integrate individualism and collectivism, to comprehend traditional culture, foreign ethics and principal ideologies of contemporary China from the eclecticism perspective. In all, eclecticism of the helping ideas of traditional culture and the ethics of professional social work is the base of success of social work in China.
