Synopsis

Up-to-date and comprehensive, this practical best-selling text helps readers learn how to deal with and apply ethical standards. It provides readers with the basis for discovering their own guidelines within the broad limits of professional codes of ethics and divergent theoretical positions. The authors raise what they consider to be central issues, present a range of diverse views on these issues, discuss their position, and present many opportunities for users to refine their own thinking and actively develop their own position. Readers explore such questions as: What role do the therapist's personal values play in the counseling relationship? What ethical responsibilities and rights do clients and therapists have? What considerations are involved in adapting counseling practice to diverse client populations?

Review

"The textbook provides counselor trainees with a no-nonsense analysis of the relevant ethical issues they will face in their clinical work. It is written in clear and concise language and provides its readers with wonderful opportunities for self-exploration and professional development. The authors have done a great job of providing supportive research and of integrating this research into relevant practice issues. The book utilizes a strengths-based approach to addressing ethical and legal issues faced by professional counselors and highlights the importance of self-awareness, discernment, and respect for diversity when addressing these issues in the workplace." - Shawn Spurgeon, The University of Tennessee at Knoxville

"[This book is] an effective exploration of the complexity of ethical codes and standards for counselors, with effective experiential activities, including inventories for students, related activities, and CD case profiles." - Lona Whitmarsh, Fairleigh Dickinson University
