Resumen:
In this paper, we analyze the principles and values that guide the
professional exercise when the users have a disability, trying to make a
linkage between two fields of knowledge: professional ethics and human
rights. Particularly, we focus on social workers. We also discuss some
ethical dilemmas that these professional may face in their daily
practice, showing three of the most explored in the research on people
with disabilities: the conflict between the user's interests, the
professional's and the institution's; the informed consent, and the
tension between the user's autonomy and the professional's commitments.
Throughout the text, we emphasize the importance of contextualizing
professional principles and values, based on the needs of people with
disabilities, which are usually more specific than those of the rest of
the population.
