The NASW Code of Ethics is a set of standards that guide the professional conduct of social workers. The 2021 update includes language that addresses the importance of professional self-care. Moreover, revisions to the Cultural Competence standard provide more explicit guidance to social workers.
All social workers should review the new text and affirm their commitment to abide by the Code of Ethics. Also available in Spanish.
First published in 2009, The Social Work Ethics Casebook was the first ethics casebook, including extensive cases
and commentary, written exclusively for social workers. The second edition was published in 2018. This revised second edition reflects changes made in the 2021 Code of Ethics of the National Association of Social Workers and includes discussion of new and updated ethics standards, especially pertaining to cultural competence and practitioner self-care.
This book’s realistic ethics cases provide a useful tool for discussing ethical dilemmas and ethical decision making. Following each set of cases, author Frederic G. Reamer includes commentary highlighting key ethics concepts and references to relevant standards in the Code of Ethics. Earn CEUs with this book.
Have you wondered how to channel your passion for change into not only your professional success but also a lasting legacy? Social workers, often referred to as “agents of change,” join the profession with the intention of making the world a better place. However, most social workers do not learn a systematic approach to fostering change in their own career advancement.
By focusing on your personal and professional growth, you can build a legacy that extends beyond immediate impacts, ensuring that your contributions endure and inspire future generations of social workers, clients, and communities. This interactive guidebook, by Jennifer Luna, Cindy Snell, and Michelle Woods, will provide you with useful tools and inspiration for every stage of your social work career journey.

Clinical case studies are a fundamental tool for developing “practice wisdom,” the intuitive understanding of client dynamics and core issues in a
case. This collection of 80 real-world-based clinical vignettes, by Liz B. Johnston, offers a diverse range of clinical counseling cases, covering all the major DSM-5-TR diagnostic categories.
Working through the clinical vignettes in this book, you will build your familiarity with the major DSM-5-TR diagnoses and the wide variety of cases that may be found in exam questions, licensing tests, or your social work practice. For each case, the answer key provides possible risk factors, diversity considerations, ethical and legal concerns, treatment issues, and possible diagnoses.
