This book was required reading for my Ethics class for my master's degree in social work. Of all the books, I enjoyed this one the best. It offers concise, easy-to-read chapters on a myriad of issues facing social workers in the field. These issues not only include ethical dilemmas in treating clients, but also issues involving personal ethics, agency bureaucracy, private practice, etc. Much of the information is thought-provoking and the excellent references provide further reading on those topics you are most interested in. This is one of those books you want to save after you graduate and include in your professional library.
