Problem
I. Do you believe there is objective moral truth built into the universe that, if violated, results in consequences in people's lives? Explain your thoughts and what role you think truth plays in ethics and ethical decision-making for social workers. Discuss and give an example.
II. Identify at least one reason why truth is important and discuss its relevance to your work as a social worker or Christian.
III. How and when will you acknowledge your own views of truth to a client? (Examples may include that medication is helpful and important for recovery, substance abuse is harmful, domestic violence is not normal, and God is real and can help us if we ask). How do you think you might be able to accomplish this in a way that respects the client's freedom to choose?
IV. Finally, review and provide your thoughts on the comparison grid "Comparing Therapeutic Philosophies and a Biblical Theory of Change" above. How might the grid help you evaluate your own practice and use of theory with clients?
