ABSTRACT In this co-authored article, one contributor presents a case story from an interview with a social worker in Slovenia, while five others offer commentaries on ethical aspects of the case. The story comes from a practitioner working with a pregnant young woman, arranging for adoption following birth. The social worker respected the woman’s request to keep her identity secret, hence not registering her in the institutional records. However, whilst the social worker was on holiday, the baby was born and anonymity was not maintained. Commentaries 1 and 2 evaluate the story through its form: as a narrative with a tempo and plot; and as a performance that creates its narrator as an agent with an ethical identity. Commentary 3 uses a normative moral philosophical framework (virtue ethics), while the final two commentaries take a more grounded approach. Commentary 4 views the social worker as using discretion to act in a space void of rules (there is no provision for anonymous birth), whereas Commentary 5 foregrounds the Slovenian code of ethics as a source of ethical standards unremarked upon by the social worker. The article ends with reflections on the value of exploring multiple perspectives and engaging in dialogue in developing ethical understandings and actions.

与案例对话：社会工作中的专业精神，身份认同和道德观

摘要在此合着的文章中，一位撰稿人通过对斯洛文尼亚一名社会工作者的采访介绍了一个案例故事，而其他五位参与者则对案例的道德方面进行了评论。这个故事来自一位与一位怀孕的年轻女子一起工作的从业者，她准备在出生后领养。社会工作者尊重妇女要求保密的要求，因此没有在机构记录中进行登记。但是，在社工休假期间，婴儿出生了，并且没有保持匿名。评论1和2通过故事的形式来评价故事：作为具有节拍和情节的叙述；并以叙事者身份成为具有道德身份的表演。评论3使用规范的道德哲学框架（虚拟伦理），而最后两个评论则采用了更扎实的方法。评论4认为社会工作者在没有规则的空间中使用酌处权（没有匿名出生的规定），而评论5则认为斯洛文尼亚道德准则是社会工作者未提及的道德标准的来源。文章最后总结了探索多种观点并参与对话以发展道德理解和行动的价值。
