Description

For courses in Counseling Ethics, Ethical and Legal Issues in Psychology, Practica, and Internships.

 

Expanded, revised, and more reader-friendly, the third edition of Counseling Ethics and Decision-Making again provides its exceptional coverage of the philosophical foundations of counseling. After a thorough discussion of ethical principles and standards, the authors conscientiously examine ethical issues as they manifest themselves within several specialty areas–family counseling and school counseling, for example. They again include their highly-praised compendium of ethical codes–ideal for study by future counselors or as a reference for practitioners. Clearly, this is one of the most comprehensive, thorough, and readable texts on the market today.
