The Ethical Bridge: Outcome-Based Navigations of IFSW and the Philippines (Social Word Codes)

Description The Ethical Bridge was written for social work students and for the practitioner who has ever felt the “tug” of an ethical tug-of-war. It’s for the worker in a rural Philippine province who wonders if declining a ninong or ninang (godparents) invitation is a professional boundary or a cultural insult. It’s for the advocate trying to maintain their own spirit while fighting systemic exhaustion. This book is our attempt to build a sturdy path between the “what to do” found in the IFSW Code of Ethics and the “who we are” as reflected in Philippine social work practice.
