5.0 out of 5 stars Required or not, read this book!, August 23, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Issues and Ethics in the Helping Professions (Paperback)

This book was required in my graduate psychology ethics course, and I found it to be extremely helpful. Covers such topics as confidentiality, multiple relationships, diversity issues, and personal values as they relate to the counseling profession. Extremely helpful were the pre-chapter self-inventories for each topic, which give you a chance to think about what is written after them from your own frame of reference. This book dealt with issues that I had never even considered before, and I consider myself to be fairly well-educated in the subject of counseling psychology. I recommend it to anyone who is in a graduate program, to undergraduates who plan to enter the field, and to anyone currently practicing who was sent out to work with little or no formal ethics training.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Ethics Text on the Market to Date, June 11, 2000

This review is from: Issues and Ethics in the Helping Professions (Paperback)

As a Counselor Educator and Counseling Psychologist, I feel that "Issues and Ethics In the Helping Professions" is one of the most nicely organized and well-written texts on counseling ethics ever written. I cannot think of another text I would choose over it to teach ethics to developing counselors. This text serves as an excellent source for the overview of ethical issues in counseling and related fields, as well as a guide to further reading. Corey, Corey, and Callanan expect readers to become involved in learning to deal with ethical and professional issues most directly influenced by the actual practice of counseling. The authors produce numerous useful examples for thought and discussion as well as well designed activities for the classroom setting. Even an instructor selects another text for her or his ethics course, the student should definitely consider purchasing this text as an ethics resource. This edition has also put more emphasis on the learning needs of School Counselors than past editions, although I hope to see it develop in this arena in the 6th edition.

3.0 out of 5 stars Major differences between 6th and 7th Edition!, September 22, 2009

This review is from: Issues and Ethics in the Helping Professions (Paperback)

My 6th Edition arrived promptly and in excellent condition. Our course instructor had compared earlier editions when new one's were available in the past and noticed little difference. So, to save money, I bought the 6th Edition rather than the 7th and quickly found that there were some substantial changes that made it difficult to do a group study. Now, I see that new copies of the latest (7th) edition are available at a lower price than new copies of the 6th. Hopes this helps someone avoid this problem.
