“…For example, marketization, privatization, contracting in service delivery, managed care and case management, the increased role of forprofit businesses in service delivery and the growth of private practice have all been identified as potentially problematic developments (Brown and Barker, 1995;Lewis et al 1997;Reeser, 1996;Strom, 1996;Sunley, 1997).…”

“…A basic dynamic within this overall process of reconstruction is the marketization of welfare, in which putative boundaries separating human service delivery from market processes and market forces have been eroded (Healy, 1998;Rees and Rodley, 1995). For example, marketization, privatization, contracting in service delivery, managed care and case management, the increased role of forprofit businesses in service delivery and the growth of private practice have all been identified as potentially problematic developments (Brown and Barker, 1995;Lewis et al 1997;Reeser, 1996;Strom, 1996;Sunley, 1997).…”

This paper examines the findings of an exploratory study of emerging ethical issues and practices reported by a sample of human service managers and practitioners in public and non-profit agencies in Queensland, Australia.• Findings: The contemporary context in which human services are delivered in Western societies is characterized by increased marketization, contractualism and managerialist practices, all of which entail different ethical values from those traditionally embraced by the social work profession. Utilizing qualitative and quantitative methodologies, this research identifies current and emerging challenges to ethical practice and existing organizational responses to it. Widespread concern about the negative aspects of changed structural arrangements on ethical practice in the contemporary human services is highlighted. Differences in the ways in which organizations and practitioners are responding to these changes are examined. The limitations of existing approaches and ethics codes are noted. • Applications: Implications for organizations, practitioners and educators are explored, and more pro-active management and training strategies are advocated. Further research is required to identify the often-understated negative effects on ethical practice of the market-based reforms of human service structures and processes.Keywords ethical practice human services managerialism marketization social work 345

This article reports on the findings of a national study conducted with a randomized sample of NASW members in private practice. The study examined such issues as populations served, lengths of treatment, fees charged, treatment approaches, and whether private practitioners used evidence-based practice or practice-based evidence in their work with clients. The article reflects on such questions as whether private practitioners have abandoned the social work mission, whether graduate schools should aim to prepare social workers for private practice, and whether social workers in private practice adhere to the NASW Code of Ethics.
