The article then draws on ideas from moral and political philosophy and from critical social theory with a view to broadening and deepening social work’s theorization of social justice. The article points to six ideas that can enhance our thinking about social justice in social work theory: i) justice as equality based on the inherent worth and dignity of all human beings, and the rights that adhere to them; ii) justice as (relative) equality through economic redistribution; iii) justice as the flourishing of all species in a healthy and sustainable (natural and built) environment; iv) justice as moral integrity; v) justice as fairness; and vi) justice as restoration and healing. A broad and nuanced understanding of “social justice” in social work is more necessary than ever, as we carry out our work in the challenging contemporary circumstances of social injustice, inequality, environmental degradation, and the politics of austerity.","PeriodicalId":88920,"journal":{"name":"Journal of social work values and ethics","volume":"33 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73892773","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The results showed that practitioners are using a variety of strategies that range from giving clients voice or choice to integration of best practices including elements of self-determination theory, shared decision making, or the Lundy Model. Further analysis of the strategies suggested that they could be enacted at two key stages that include worker-client interactions and the organizational level. Both agency administrators and practitioners have essential roles to play in defining and implementing processes that can promote self-determination in social work settings.","PeriodicalId":88920,"journal":{"name":"Journal of social work values and ethics","volume":"118 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85946324","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The transgender theory model centers gender fluidity over biology and views each individual as the expert on their own gender without suggesting pathology or deviance. This theory breaks away by spilling over the limited paradigm that queer theory and feminist theory have to offer. Contemporary transgender theory asserts all transgender and gender diverse identities are valid and moves toward adapting a cisgender dominant culture. Simply acknowledging that transgender and gender diverse people exist, has become not enough for today’s society. Exploring the history of transgender theory provides clear evidence of this evolution and creates a trajectory for cisgender dominant society that moves closer to the same one the transgender community has for themselves. Learning culture competency practices can leave a clinician limited in truly understanding the needs of transgender and gender diverse people. Exploring ones value system and how this is applied within social work practice is needed to present a true affirming framework that upholds the guiding principles on gender identity and expression set forth in the NASW Code of Ethics . Modern transgender theory hypothesizes that by pushing towards adopting a stronger understanding of intersectionality and marginalized gender identities, American culture will see a reduction in oppression and an increase in more opportunities for transgender and gender diverse people not only to survive, but to thrive.","PeriodicalId":88920,"journal":{"name":"Journal of social work values and ethics","volume":"24 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82843579","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Abstract In recent years, scholarly discussions of ethical challenges in social work, ethics concepts and theories, and decision-making frameworks have proliferated. These discussions prominently feature theories of normative ethics (particularly deontology, teleology, utilitarianism), virtue ethics, communitarian ethics, and the ethics of care. Curiously, one prominent ethics concept that has been central to ethics discussions in other professions has not been featured at all in the social work literature: reflective equilibrium. Reflective equilibrium refers to a process by which individuals attempt to figure out how they know whether something is morally right or not and whether their beliefs about what is moral are consistent with one another. This article provides an overview of the concept of reflective equilibrium, identifies its core elements, and discusses its compelling relevance to social work ethics.","PeriodicalId":88920,"journal":{"name":"Journal of social work values and ethics","volume":"45 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80847325","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
