Welfel's ETHICS IN COUNSELING AND PSYCHOTHERAPY prepares you to deal effectively with the complex ethical and legal issues that you will confront in practice. The book's ten-step model for ethical decision making guides you as you work through and analyze complicated ethics cases and challenging dilemmas. Coverage includes legal research and the professional literature of major topics in ethics (such as consent, confidentiality, and multiple relationships) and in applied settings (such as community mental health, private practice, schools, and teaching/research). Among other changes, the sixth edition integrates the new 2014 ACA Code of Ethics and includes updated discussions of technology and ethics, as well as culturally competent ethical practice.
“"Welfel's text covers everything about counseling ethics that I could possibly ask it to cover. I highly recommend it."”
"This text is comprehensive with thorough coverage of critical material for ethical and professional development. What differentiates this book from other texts is that Welfel presents the information in an accessible, practical, easy to digest style that readily engages students. The case examples are plentiful and thought provoking as well. All of these characteristics, along with the coverage of both ACA and APA codes of ethics, make this text the gold standard for courses in ethics."
