Covering a comprehensive range of ethical issues, this book integrates research, case law, ethical standards and everyday examples with wisdom and common sense. Scenarios at the end of each chapter prompt the active questioning, thinking, feeling and responding that accompany the therapist's ethical responsibility and decision-making process.
