5.0 out of 5 stars Must reading for anyone who treats others for a living!, April 27, 2006
This review is from: Practical Ethics for Psychologists: A Positive Approach (Paperback)
Knapp and VandeCreek achieved something almost impossible in the field of ethics instruction. They wrote a book that was informative and interesting to read! Ethics has long been a fascinating intellectual topic; however, it has rarely been a good read. With an informal and clear style and great examples it is enjoyable as well as an important book. I was pleased at the orientation- "A Positive Approach." Unfortunately too many use "ethics" with a punitive super ego. This book however shows us how we can stay out of trouble, not harm and be better at what we do. It is valuable for all in the helping professions.

5.0 out of 5 stars Student's review, May 17, 2007
By 
This review is from: Practical Ethics for Psychologists: A Positive Approach (Paperback)
I am using this book in a graduate Ethics course, and it is great. It provides an in depth overview of the APA Ethics Code but is also an impetus for discussion. From a student's point of view it has really helped me learn the code.

This review is from: Practical Ethics for Psychologists: A Positive Approach (Paperback)
This text was required for a graduate level course on Ethics. The chapters are short and easy to read. It is enjoyable to read (as much as reading about Ethics can be enjoyable).
