Ethical Dilemmas In Social Work Practice And Its Countermeasures

In August 2002,China's two cities in Shanghai,the first pilot to carry out community correction work in the city of Beijing.By the end of 2007,the community correction has been spread all over the country in 25 provinces(autonomous regions and municipalities).Community correction is a corresponding execution and correction of the prison.In our country,the community correction concrete to meet the conditions of community corrections offenders placed in the community by the special social groups in the relevant state organs and civil society organizations and volunteers,the judgment or ruling or decision within the time limit.Correction of criminal psychology and behavioral habits and promote their return to society to establish non imprisonment penalty.Community correction is a typical form of socialization of penalty execution,which embodies many advantages of non imprisonment punishment.Meet the conditions of community correction offenders include five categories: the court probation,the court ruled by the prison and other departments to be sentenced to control and deprived of political rights of prisoners in the society.Shanghai community correction model because of the development of early,all relatively mature.In the community correction after the start,Shanghai officially took over the work of community correction by the judicial departments,and to carry out government purchasing services for the characteristics of community correction work mode in support of the government,the social work methods and ideas into the community correction work,make full use of community organizations and community resources,create favorable conditions for the implementation of community correction.Ethical dilemma is an important issue that runs through the whole process of social work.It is not only the most severe test for every social worker,but also the most effective measure to test the practical ability of social workers.Proper processing practices in the correct ethical dilemma,determines the corrective social work program can be carried out smoothly,the realization of the goal,but also affects the social work profession and correction of social workers in the social public status and reputation.During the period of correcting social work practice,the author uses observation and interview methods to collect information,including the basic situation of the subject,the ethical dilemmas and reasons encountered at each stage of the correction,and the ethical choice.Through collation and analysis,we can find the types and reasons for the correction of ethical dilemmas in social work.First,the conflict between the interests of the principal and the safety needs of others.In the process of practice,to rectify the social worker need to consider client confidentiality if the client himself or other people or the threat of injury,the main reason is the internal conflict between professional values.Due to the special nature of the correction of social work cases,the correction of social workers needs to pay attention to their own safety,but the correction of social work is also a social vulnerable groups and needs to correct the care of social workers.Second is the conflict between process requirements and corrective work objectives.The goal is to make the correction of social work service objects can be completed on time and as specified in the community correction,but the social work professional and ethical requirements in practice with respect to the main case,when the main case of violation of the provisions of community corrections,social workers into the ethical dilemma.The correction social worker should pay attention to the basic demand of the service object,and also pay attention to the development of the long-term latent capacity of the service object and the choice between the short-term benefit and the long-term benefit becomes the difficult problem that the social worker chooses.Third is the conflict between the principle of self-determination and social responsibility and professional authority.The self-determination of the case emphasizes the decision made by the principal,but in fact the decision made by the case is not necessarily optimal.The main reason is the conflict between values and professional social workers.From the ideal point of view,social workers own values and professional values should be consistent.But everyone is born by the environment,education,social work makes correction work is very difficult to achieve value neutrality.The fourth is the conflict brought by social worker loyalty.It is the duty of the correctional social worker to help the clients to gain interests,but at the same time,as a member of the organization,it is also responsible for the organization.The corrective social work agencies pay more attention to the social workers completed results and workload,using methods and techniques do not seem to be valued,too large workload will affect the quality of the service,so as to reach the expected results.The independence and development dependence of the social work specialty make the multi subjects participate in the correction of social work,and also make the correction social workers face the difficult position.Correct ethics in social work practice including security and client confidentiality society or others,all workers agree that the highest value of life,the protection of any person's life is a priority principle.The correction of social workers should not only protect other lives,but also pay attention to their own safety.Secondly,it is to provide services.In order to correct the role orientation of social workers,the authors suggest that social workers should play different roles in different stages of the correction process,so as to make corresponding roles.As a corrective social worker,must recognize the conflict between law and ethics have occurred,when conflicts arise,to rectify the social worker must carefully weigh the pros and cons,can be more effective in practice.In the work,according to the actual situation to consider short-term and long-term interests of the client,the client to make favorable choice.Correctional workers should respect the principle of self-determination of the owners,but the premise is that they do not harm the life of the object of service and the safety of others,and finally make appropriate decisions.Broaden the evaluation indicators of institutions,pay more attention to the use of professional skills and improve the supervision mechanism of social work.The government should provide more resources to the social workers in order to better serve the project owners.Finally,put forward some policy suggestions to correct the ethical dilemmas of social work,strengthen the ethical education correction of social work,enhance their professional social correction and accumulated experience,promote the correction of social work,institutionalization and legalization of occupation,play a leading role in supervision to correct the social work ethic is more consistent with the actual situation in china.Through the typical case to explore the practice of X social work organizations in Shanghai: ethical dilemmas and ethical choice,summed up the methods to deal with practical experience,is conducive to the correct localization of social workers develop appropriate ethical standards,and promote the development of social work ethics of domestic correction.
