Synopsis

Although students may have considerable knowledge from graduate courses in professional ethics, only in the context of clinical work do the nuances and complexities of ethical issues begin to emerge. Supervisors must be present and attentive to capture and fully utilize those proverbial "teachable moments" in which the applications of ethical principles and standards may be recognized and internalized.

This book represents the confluence of ethics with supervision and consultation.
