Book Description

The comprehensive guide to ethics

"An excellent blend of case law, research evidence, down-to-earth principles, and practical examples from two authors with outstanding expertise. Promotes valuable understanding through case illustrations, self-directed exercises, and thoughtful discussion of such issues as cultural diversity."--Dick Suinn, president-elect 1998, American Psychological Association

"The scenarios and accompanying questions will prove especially helpful to those who offer courses and workshops concerned with ethics in psychology."--Charles D. Spielberger, former president, American Psychological Association; distinguished research professor of psychology, University of South Florida

The authors draw on their professional experience, empirical studies, and case examples to examine the ethical responsibilities that confront psychotherapists and counselors in their day-to-day practice. They offer insights into contending with the sometimes competing demands of clients' needs, formal ethical principles, personal values, and evolving legal standards in a range of areas--including fees, informed consent, sexual concerns, confidentiality, documentation, and supervision.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not All Ethics Texts are Created Equal, July 9, 2006
This review is from: Ethics in Psychotherapy and Counseling: A Practical Guide (Paperback)
I thought I read every ethics text throughout my close to ten years in higher education. Obviously, this one was left out. This is an excellent text, easily readable, engaging, practical, and down to earth. I look forward to picking it up and continuing on each day. This text should be used in every ethics class and by every professional in the field of human service. Incredible job by the authors. Definitely recommended to every practicing clinician.
