Gilligan's Theory of Moral Development as Applied to Social Work.

Rhodes, Margaret L.

Social Work, v30 n2 p101-05 Mar-Apr 1985

Discusses two modes of thinking about ethics developed by Carol Gilligan. Argues that Gilligan's modes of thought (responsibility and rights) correspond to two ideals of social work practice: a rights perspective, based on liberal individualism, and a needs perspective, based on nineteenth century Christian virtue.
