Abstract

The author discusses the boundaries we draw around ethics in social work and how we distinguish ethical from nonethical concerns. The author purports that sometimes we restrict our ethical vision by drawing ethical boundaries around our understanding of clients, our relationships with colleagues, and political issues.
