TASK 2

A young 35-year-old woman, recently married, was diagnosed with breast cancer. Surgeons informed her that she needed to remove her left breast. The woman is not afraid of death. She does not know how to tell her husband that she will be disabled, an inferior woman, from her point of view. And he would never be able to have children, which they both dreamed of. Life is over for her, she believes.

What information will help her break the deadlock and see the possibilities of a normal life after surgery?

What mechanism of social adaptation will take place in this case?

TASK 3

Irina, a graduate of a social university, got a job in one of the maternity hospitals. It was very difficult for her. A social worker is a fairly new and unusual phenomenon in medical institution. The doctors did not express their great affection for her and did not understand why she was needed here without medical education. Some of them not only watched with distrust, but even with contempt, her interactions with patients and their relatives. In addition, she noticed that some male obstetricians were disrespectful not only to her, but to all the women working there. One doctor often made fun of her very offensively, told obscene jokes, and sometimes simply threw barbs that questioned her professionalism. One of the nurses advised Irina to talk frankly with this doctor and tell him everything she thinks about him. But Irina believes the following: “I think this will not bring me anything good. I’d rather prove with my work that I can help unhappy women, especially those who have nowhere to go with a child and want to give it up. Then the doctors will understand that if they treat the body of a woman and her child, then I am their soul. It’s better not to pay attention to stupid jokes and simply not notice them than to create a conflict situation that will not lead to anything good.”

Answer the following questions:

Is it possible to agree with Irina on everything? She speaks from the position of so-called common sense and does not want to conflict with anyone. But isn't she, like an ostrich, hiding her head in the sand?

Do you agree with the proposed vision of the future development of the situation?

What actions need to be taken to resolve this situation?

What would you suggest Irina do to solve her problem?

What type of social adaptation will take place in this case?

TASK 4

Tamara, a journalist, lost a prestigious job in one of the central newspapers. Although she was fired due to staff reduction, many said that it was because of her quarrelsomeness and desire to constantly question the orders of her superiors. Currently, Tamara, having registered at the labor exchange, receives unemployment benefits, prepares lunches for her adult son and writes articles on request for various newspapers and magazines. Her goal is to get a job in one of the decent newspapers. To do this, she must start looking for work and going to interviews. But often she simply refuses to go to interviews already during the telephone invitation. She herself tried to analyze the reasons for this and found that she was dissatisfied with her appearance– gray and unkempt hair, lack of makeup, jeans that she wears for her son. Every time she has to go for another interview, she finds that she is not ready for it for the above reasons. In addition, on the day of the interview something always happens to her - a friend gets sick, the taps are leaking, new furniture is brought in, etc.

Determine what social rehabilitation measures Tamara needs in the current situation and why.

How can Tamara get out of this difficult life situation?

10. Summing up.

Code of Ethics

National Association of Social Workers (NASW) Established by the 1996 NASW Assembly of Delegates and revised during the Preamble to the 1999 NASW Assembly of Delegates.

The primary mission of professional activity called “social

work", is to improve the well-being of a person's life, providing assistance in

meeting the basic human needs of all people, especially the needs and rights of the socially disadvantaged, oppressed and poor.

A historical and defining feature of the profession is its focus on both the well-being of the individual in a social context and the well-being of society as a whole. A fundamental role in social work is played by focusing attention on those forces environment that create (contribute to the emergence of) or solve problems for people living in this environment.

Social workers Engage in activities with (and on their behalf) clients that promote social justice and social change. Social workers' clients can be individuals, families, groups, organizations and communities. Social workers respect cultural and ethnic differences among people and work to end discrimination, oppression, poverty and other forms of social injustice.

The activities of social workers can take place both in the form of social practice directly and in the form organizational events in local communities, guidance, consultation, administrative regulations, advocacy, as well as in the form of social and political actions, policy development and implementation, educational events, scientific research and conducting assessments. Social workers look for ways to empower people to meet their own needs.

In addition, social workers make efforts to encourage

organizations, local communities and others social institutions respond to the needs and social problems of individuals.

The mission of the social worker profession is rooted in a number of core values. These values ​​have been and remain unshakable for social workers throughout the existence of this profession, and serve as the foundation for the unique purpose and perspective of social work:

Service for the benefit of others

Social justice

Dignity and value of the human person

The importance of human relationships

Honesty

Competence

The constellation of key values ​​described above reflects the uniqueness of the profession

social worker. These values, as well as the principles arising from them, must always be in stable balance, regardless of the context and complexity of life situations.

Purpose of the NASR Code of Ethics

Professional ethics in social work is at the forefront. Hence,

The core professional values, as well as the principles and standards of professional ethics, must be clearly defined. The NASR Code of Ethics clearly defines the above-mentioned values, principles and standards, and thus serves as a guide for social workers in professional conduct. This Code is applicable to the activities of all social workers and students studying the specialty “social work”, without exception, regardless of the nature of their professional duties, conditions and places of work/practice or

employees in their professional activities, bearing responsibility for this

before society.

5. The Code introduces professionals who do not have knowledge in the field of social work,

unethical professional actions of their colleagues. NASR has formal

procedures for considering and resolving complaints filed regarding

non-compliance with professional ethics by members of the Association*. Subscribing to

this Code, social workers are obliged to assist in its

implementation, participate in NASR processes to review and satisfy

filed complaints and obey all disciplinary instructions and emanating from

them sanctions NASR.

*For details on the HACP procedures mentioned, see Procedures

NASR for Review and Redress of Complaints.

When making certain decisions affecting ethical issues, as well as in your

professional behavior, social workers should focus on

values, principles and standards adopted in this Code. At the same time, it should

It should be noted that this Code does not establish a rigid set of rules dictating

social workers a certain procedure for action in any situation and

circumstances. The application of this Code is entirely context dependent.

specific situation, as well as the possible presence in a given situation of a conflict (incompatibility) between certain values, principles or standards described in the Code. Any human relationship, be it personal, family, social or professional, always carries with it the burden of ethical responsibility.

It should also be noted that in relation to unusual situations when certain values, principles or standards of the NASR Code of Ethics turn out to be

incompatible with each other, the Code does not indicate which of them are the most important and should outweigh the others in importance. Among social workers there can and do exist differences of opinion on the question: in favor of which of these seemingly incompatible values, ethical principles or standards should a clear choice be made? When making ethical decisions of this kind in each specific situation, a social worker must rely both on his own informed assessment of the situation and on the results of a collegial expert assessment, in which the guideline for experts is uniform ethical standards for the profession.

Making decisions regarding ethical issues is not an easy process. There are many examples in social work where there are no easy answers to complex ethical issues. Social workers must consider all of the values, principles and standards of this Code that may be applicable to any particular situation requiring ethical assessment. The decisions and actions of social workers must not contradict the spirit and content of this Code.

In addition to this Code, there are many other sources of information on ethical thinking that can be used. Social workers may refer to general theory and principles of ethics, social work theory and research, laws, regulations, departmental policies, and other Codes of Ethics (while recognizing the NASR Code of Ethics as their primary source of information among all ethical codes ). Social workers should also be aware of how the personal values, cultural or religious beliefs/activities they (or their clients) subscribe to may influence ethical decision-making. They should not exclude the possibility of a conflict between personal and professional values ​​and

Accordingly, we must approach the resolution of such conflicts from the full

responsibility. When faced with ethical dilemmas, a social worker

should seek further assistance from the relevant literature on

professional ethics and ethical decision-making, or seek appropriate advice. Consultants may include an agency ethics committee or an ethics committee of a social workers' organization, government regulatory agencies, colleagues, supervisors, or legal counsel who have relevant knowledge.

Situations may arise where social workers' ethical obligations on a subject conflict with departmental policies or laws or regulations relating to that subject. If such a conflict occurs, the social worker must endeavor to resolve it in accordance with the values, principles and standards described in this Code. If it is impossible to independently resolve such a situation, social workers should look for ways to obtain appropriate advice before making any decision.

The NASR Code of Ethics is subject to the use of NASR, as well as individuals, departments, organizations and government agencies(such as licensing boards, regulatory boards, professional liability insurance boards, courts, agency boards of directors, government departments and other professional groups) who at their discretion subscribe to and follow this Code, or use it in as a reference document. Failure to comply with the standards of this Code does not automatically mean a violation of the law and incurring legal liability.

Such a determination can only be made during (and only if necessary) legal or judicial proceedings. An alleged violation of the provisions of the Code is subject to review by the Association's Expert Commission, a process that usually takes place separately and independently of legal or administrative procedures, legal review or proceedings, which allows the Association to advise its own members, as well as take disciplinary action against them.

Compliance with the Code of Ethics cannot guarantee ethical conduct. Moreover,

The Code of Ethics cannot resolve all ethical issues and controversies, or

cover in its content all the diversity and complexity of selection processes

responsible decisions that do not contradict the moral principles of society. Together with

However, the Code of Ethics sets out the values, ethical principles and ethical standards to

which all professionals strive for, and in accordance with which actions

the latter can be assessed. The ethical behavior of social workers must come from their own sense of duty and commitment to ethical work. The NASR Code of Ethics reflects the commitment of all social workers to professional values ​​and ethics. These principles and standards are intended to guide well-intentioned individuals in identifying controversial moral issues and seeking to give them valid ethical assessment.

Ethical Principles

The following ethical principles are based on core values social work:

service to others, social justice, dignity and worth of the human person, the importance of human relationships, integrity and competence. These principles reflect the ideas that all social workers should strive to achieve.

Value: Service for the benefit of others

Ethical principle:The primary goal of social workers is to help everyone

those in need and seek solutions to social problems.

Social workers place service for the benefit of others above their own interests.

Adhering to their professional values, social workers use their knowledge and skills to help all those in need and solve social problems. The voluntary initiative of social workers to offer their professional services in one volume or another is encouraged, without expecting any significant financial reward in return (pro bono service).

Value: Social justice

Ethical principle:Social workers fight against social injustice.

Social workers work to achieve social change, especially for the benefit of (with and on behalf of) disadvantaged and oppressed individuals or groups. At the same time, the efforts of social workers are mainly aimed at working with problems such as poverty, unemployment, discrimination and other forms of social injustice. The purpose of such activities is to promote knowledge in the field of various forms of oppression, cultural and ethnic differences between people, as well as to promote appropriate attitudes towards these problems. Social workers strive to ensure that everyone has access to the information, services and resources they need, as well as equal opportunity and (where appropriate) full participation of all people in decision-making.

Value: Dignity and value of the human person

Ethical principle:Social workers respect the dignity and value the individuality of each person.

Social workers treat each person with respect and care, taking into account their individual, cultural and ethnic characteristics. Social workers encourage and facilitate clients' making socially responsible, independent decisions. Social workers strive to empower their clients to solve their own problems independently. Social workers are aware of the dual responsibilities they have to clients and to society. They strive to resolve conflicts of interest that arise between their clients on the one hand and society on the other, using socially responsible approaches and guided by the values, ethical principles and ethical standards of their profession.

Value: The importance of human relationships

Ethical principle:Social workers recognize the key importance of human relationships

Social workers understand that relationships between people are an important tool for creating change. Social workers engage people as partners in the process of providing care. Social workers strive to strengthen relationships between people with the goal of creating or restoring, maintaining or improving the well-being of individuals, families, social groups, organizations and local communities.

Value: Honesty

Ethical principle:The activities of social workers are worthy of trust.

Social workers never forget the mission, values, ethical principles and ethical standards of their profession and are always guided by them in the performance of their professional duties. Social workers act honestly and responsibly, observing professional ethics, honorably representing the organizations on whose behalf they work.

Value: Competence

Ethical principle:In their activities, social workers do not go beyond their own professional competence, but constantly expand the range of their professional knowledge and skills.

Social workers are constantly searching for new professional knowledge and skills in order to practical application. Each social worker should strive to make his own contribution to the “treasury of knowledge” of his profession.

Ethics Standards

The following standards of ethics apply to professional

activities of all social workers: (1) ethical responsibility of social workers to clients; (2) the ethical responsibility of social workers to colleagues; (3) the ethical responsibility of social workers in the context of their professional functions; (4) the ethical responsibilities of social workers as professionals; (5) the ethical responsibility of social workers towards their profession; (6) ethical responsibility of social workers to society.

Some of the following standards constitute rules of professional conduct that must be strictly adhered to, while a number of other standards should be striven for.

1. Ethical Responsibility of Social Workers to Clients.

1.01 Dedication to the Interests of Clients

The primary responsibility of social workers is to promote the well-being of their clients. In general, the interests of clients come first. However, in some cases, the social worker's responsibility to society as a whole or specific legal obligations may outweigh his commitment to the client's interests, and in such cases the social worker is obliged to inform the latter about this. (Example: a situation where a social worker is legally required to report that his client has abused a child, or has threatened to harm himself or others).

1.02 Making Independent Decisions by Clients

Social workers respect the right of their clients to make independent decisions

decisions and help them identify or clarify own goals. However, social workers may limit the above-mentioned right of clients in cases where, in their professional assessment, the actual or potential actions of their clients place themselves or others in a position of serious, obvious and imminent risk.

1.03 Informed Consent

(a) Social workers should provide services to their clients only when

context of professional relationships and subject to receiving them

informed consent (when necessary). Social workers should use clear and understandable language when communicating to clients the purpose of their services; the risk associated with them; restrictions on the volume and content of services dictated by the third party paying for these services; cost of services; alternative options; the right of clients to withdraw their consent; and the period of time during which this consent is valid. Social workers should provide opportunities for clients to ask questions.

(b) In cases where clients are illiterate or have difficulty understanding the language used in the provision of social services, social workers should make every effort to achieve client understanding. In such cases, clients must be given a detailed oral explanation, or, accordingly, resort to the services of a qualified interpreter.

(c) In cases where clients are unable to give informed consent, social workers must advocate for their interests with the permission of the appropriate third party, and are required to inform clients to the extent of their ability to understand. In these types of situations, social workers must ensure that the third party is acting in accordance with the wishes and interests of the clients. Social workers should try to take all feasible steps (within reason) to enable such clients to give informed consent.

(d) In cases where clients are coerced into receiving social services, social workers should inform them of the nature and extent of the services provided and the status of their right to refuse those services.

(e) Social workers who provide their services through electronic media (such as computer, telephone, radio and television) should inform their clients of the limitations and risks associated with such methods of providing services.

(f) Social workers must obtain the informed consent of their clients before audio or video recording of their speech and before allowing a third party to observe the provision of services to clients.

1.04 Competence

(a) When providing services, as well as when presenting their own competence on certain issues, social workers should not go beyond the limits of their level of education, degree of training, activities permitted by the license, level of qualifications, consultations they received, experience of working under someone else management or other relevant professional experience.

(b) Social workers may provide services in unregulated settings

areas or to use social work methods and approaches that are new to them only after appropriate study, training, consultation and guidance from people competent in these types of practice.

(c) Where generally accepted standards do not exist for a particular social work practice, social workers must make a thorough assessment of the situation and take responsible action (including obtaining appropriate training, research, consultation and guidance) to ensure the competence of their work and protect clients from potential harm.

1.05 Competence in Issues of Culture and Diversity of Society

(a) Social workers must have an understanding of culture different nations and her role in human behavior and in society as a whole, and also recognize strengths every culture.

(b) Social workers must have a basic knowledge of the culture to which their clients belong and be able to demonstrate appropriate competence in providing services that take into account the culture of clients and the resulting differences between individuals or cultural groups.

(c) Social workers should not only strive to understand, but also be required to receive appropriate education on the issue of diversity in society and discrimination based on race, ethnicity, national origin, color, gender or sexual orientation, age or marital status, political opinion or religious affiliation, the presence of a disability associated with mental or physical pathology.

1.06 Conflicts of interest

(a) Social workers should anticipate and avoid conflicts of interest that would interfere with their ability to exercise professional discretion and impartial judgment. Social workers should inform their clients of the existence or potential for a conflict of interest and take all reasonable steps to resolve the issue, while putting the clients' interests first and protecting them to the maximum extent possible. In some cases, protecting the interests of clients may require termination of the provision of services to the client by a social worker with the referral of the client to the appropriate authorities.

(b) Social workers should not make unfair use of what they have

the advantage of having professional relationships with clients or using these relationships in one way or another for the sake of their personal, religious, political or business (commercial) interests.

(c) Social workers should not have dual or multiple relationships with their current clients (as well as with their former clients), which are accompanied by the risk of using them for their own benefit or potential harm to the client. In cases where dual or multiple relationships cannot be avoided, social workers should take steps to adequately protect their clients and establish appropriate clear boundaries between these relationships (taking into account the cultural background of the clients). (Dual or multiple relationships occur when social workers and clients have more than one type of relationship, whether professional, social, or business/commercial. Dual (or multiple) relationships can exist parallel to each other or occur sequentially.)
