FORMATPaperback LANGUAGEEnglish CONDITIONBrand New Publisher Description

This is an ambitious book. It moves from a view of ethics and ethical decision making as meeting basic and minimal requirements to the presentation of a model of ethical maturity - how to be the best professional you can be. Most practitioners head for codes of ethics and ethical frameworks to help them resolve ethical issues and dilemmas. They go 'outside' rather than 'inside'. Ethical Maturity in the Helping Professions suggests a different approach that views ethical codes and frameworks as the first stepping stone to a higher ethic - an ethic of fidelity, relationships, and trust. Building on Rest's four components of ethical practice, Michael Carroll and Elisabeth Shaw propose six components that together make up what they call 'ethical maturity' or practical ethical wisdom. Born from who we are, and fashioned on the anvil of experience and knowledge, the book challenges helping professionals to review what they mean by ethics and suggests they step up to a higher ethic of relational accountability.

Review

'For me, one of the hallmarks of a good book is whether I feel more engaged in its topic and more active in observing what is going on in my life around that topic. A really good book renews me with new insight and a sense of vitality. This book has delighted me with these qualities.' - Professor Tim Bond, Head of The Graduate School of Education, University of Bristol. 'Drawing on a sound understanding of philosophy and psychology, and grounded on the firm footings of practical experience, this important book encourages us to grow into our humanity. It illuminates not only the theory, but also the practice of living an 'examined life', which challenges and ultimately rewards the reader who hopes to flourish within the context of both individual and organisational life.' - Dr Simon Longstaff, Executive Director, St James Ethics Centre.
