ABSTRACT
Reamer offers another brief summary of integrity as part of the ethical framing of social work. Where the dissonance between personal and professional values is too great, then the social worker with integrity should acknowledge this and seek an outcome that does not compromise the profession's values. First, they argue that the authors should consider the way in which personal integrity is displayed in professional life. However, given the limitations of the social, political and economic circumstances in which social work is practised, for most social workers finding integrity between personal and professional morality is a critical, everyday challenge. The discussion of ethical integrity in social work has pointed to a complex mixture of personal and professional factors in the ways that practitioners make sense of what this quality requires and its importance in their identity, as well as in how they fulfil their roles.
