What does it mean to be a good professional? What is the role of courage in professional life? How do we develop the moral qualities of respectfulness, justice and care? Firmly rooted in practice, this book is a timely exploration of the nature and value of a virtue-based approach to ethics in health and social care. Skilfully drawing on relevant moral philosophical literature, Part I offers a clear yet critical account of virtue ethics. Virtue ethics bases ethical evaluations on the moral qualities or character traits of professional practitioners. This approach, the authors argue, is a vital counter-balance to the recent emphasis in professional ethics on the regulation of conduct by rules and procedures. Part II explores the key virtues of professional wisdom, courage, respectfulness, care, trustworthiness, justice and integrity. Each chapter starts with examples from practice and ends with strategies for cultivating these key virtues in education and practice. Ethics in Professional Life is a challenging and original text that is ideal reading for all students, practitioners and academics in the field of health and social care.

Etiske dilemmaer i pædagogisk arbejde er blevet til på baggrund af teoretisk og praktisk arbejde med etiske problemer og dilemmaer i det pædagogiske felt. Bidragyderne har alle beskæftiget sig med etik både i forsknings- og undervisningssammenhæng og i praksis, såvel i Danmark som i resten af Europa.. Som helhed retter bogen sig mod den professionelle hjælper i en dansk sammenhæng, men samtidig har den et internationalt perspektiv – bl.a. med afsæt i et projekt om etik, The European Social Ethics Project. Udover en bred tilgang til spørgsmål om etik har bidragyderne især fokuseret på etiske dilemmaer i pædagogisk arbejde, fordi det er disse, der er specielt udfordrende og urovækkende for den professionelle hjælper i situationer, hvor det er vanskeligt at træffe det ”rigtige” valg. I bogen inddrages case-historier og eksempler, som perspektiverer den teoretiske diskussion. Kapitel 1-5 belyser den professionelle hjælpers etiske dilemmaer sociologisk, historisk, juridisk, og filosofisk. Kapitel 6-10 har en praktisk etisk tilgang, som præsenterer nogle forslag til at arbejde med etiske problemstillinger individuelt og sammen med andre.

This book explores the far-reaching ethical implications of recent changes in the organization and practice of the social professions (social work, community and youth work), drawing on moral philosophy, professional ethics and new empirical research by the author. What does the development of external regulation and audit mean for the autonomy, discretion and creativity of practitioners? How does inter-professional working in community mental health, youth offending or neighbourhood regeneration challenge conceptions of professional identities and roles? What relevance does an ethics of proximity, care or virtue have for professional ethics, alongside more abstract, principle-based approaches?
