Abstract:  Social work is a profession with strong value guidance and practiceoriented. In recent years, government has promoted the building of the integrated family service centre by using purchase service. Social work as a new kind of occupation is emerging in coastal areas of Guangdong Province. Although social work is facing unprecedented development opportunities, as social work practitioners, we need to be fully aware of the four kinds of ethical dilemmas: first, transplantation from the West and complex social system; second, the independence and adherence of professional development; third, the professional value of helping people and help themselves and the reality of scarce resources; fourth, quantitative performance evaluation and lack of human care.

Key words: social work practice, ethical dilemma, integrated family service centre
