About this title

Synopsis:

This book sets out to assist counselors-to-be in developing an informed ethical conscience by first exploring and developing a theoretical understanding of the subject. The goal of the book is to acquaint readers with relevant ethical theory and to provide them exposure to real life ethical issues that are often messy, complex, multifaceted dilemmas that defy simple solutions. In this process, readers are encouraged to explore their own moral and ethical value systems as well as the codes they work from and to begin the formulation of an informed ethical conscience for making sound moral/ethical judgments.
