“…After a half century of development, the social work profession was moving into a phase characterized by several attempts to develop consensus about the profession's core values. Several prominent commentaries appeared during this period in which authors defined, explored, and critiqued the profession's core values and mission (Bartlett, 1970;Emmet, 1962;Gordon, 1965;Keith-Lucas, 1963;Levy, 1972Levy, , 1973Levy, , 1976Lewis, 1972;Perlman, 1976;Pumphrey, 1959;Teicher, 1967;Towle, 1965;Varley, 1968;Vigilante, 1974;Younghusband, 1967).…”

“…Not surprisingly, in the 1960s social workers shifted considerable attention toward the ethical constructs of social justice, rights, and reform. The public and political mood of this turbulent period infused social work training and practice with a prominent set of values focused on social equality, welfare rights, human rights, discrimination, and oppression (Emmet, 1962;Lewis, 1972;Plant, 1970;Reamer, 1994;Vigilante, 1974).

The evolution of ethical standards in social work, and conceptual frameworks for examining ethical issues, is among the most compelling developments in the history of the profession. Since the formal inauguration of social work in the late nineteenth century, the profession has moved from relatively simplistic and moralistic perspectives to conceptually rich analyses of ethical issues and ethical guidelines. This article examines the evolution of social work ethics from the profession's earliest days and speculates about future challenges and directions.

Each year over one million children leave or are forced out of their homes. The majority of these children are isolated, depressed and have poor communication with their parents. Many have suffered from physical or sexual abuse, as well as various forms of neglect and deprivation in their family units and in their environment. Some runaway children receive help from the child welfare system. Most, however, come to large cities where they beg, steal, are raped, and work as prostitutes. Most runaway young people do not receive help from private practitioners because of denial of their problems, nomadism, no third-party insurance coverage and, at times, the lack of flexibility of individual systems of therapy.Alternative treatment models are discussed: short-term group homes, host homes, counseling centers that trace their history to the runaway centers, free clinics, and crisis hotlines that arose in the mid * Requests for reprints should be sent to: Herbert J.
