Frederic G. Reamer is professor emeritus at the School of Social Work, Rhode Island College. His Columbia University Press books include Risk Management in the Behavioral Health Professions: A Practical Guide to Preventing Malpractice and Licensing-Board Complaints (2023); The Philosophical Foundations of Social Work (second edition, 2022); Boundary Issues and Dual Relationships in the Human Services (third edition, 2021); Risk Management in Social Work (2015); and On the Parole Board: Reflections on Crime, Punishment, Redemption, and Justice (2016), among others.
As an attorney and social worker who defends and advises social work professionals, I am grateful for the theoretically deep yet profoundly practical guidance offered by the sixth edition of Rick Reamer’s Social Work Values and Ethics. It deserves a prominent place on every social worker’s bookshelf. -- David Barry, Esq.
