An engaging text that covers ethical choices in a variety of counselling settings.
Helping professionals assist people with complex and sometimes highly personal problems. This often means delving into many aspects of human behaviour spanning a wide spectrum of relationships, organisational settings, and other interwoven circumstances and situations. Doing this in a professional manner requires an ethical awareness that is both well informed and effectively practiced.
'Becoming an Ethical Helping Professional' takes mental health professionals on a wide-ranging tour of ethics -- covering both the theoretical as well as practical aspects of providing sound, ethical care. Coverage goes beyond a laundry-list approach to rules of conduct, and plumbs the philosophical roots embedded in today's professional codes. Engaging case studies explores how ethical rules and principles apply in various real-world settings and specialities.
