Ethics in counseling and psychotherapy

by Elizabeth Reynolds Welfel

In Ethics in Counseling and Psychotherapy: Standards, Research, and Emerging Issues, Elizabeth Reynolds Welfel introduces you to the ethical standards of counseling and psychology and helps you develop an understanding of the ethical principles underlying those standards. In addition, the author presents her nine-step model of ethical decision making for analyzing complex ethical problems in mental health practice. In this book, Welfel integrates current research on ethics, fosters ethical sensitivity, and examines the impact of recent changes in practice on responsible professional behavior. Welfel also includes an often neglected topic - how to take responsibility when one does engage in unethical behavior. Through thoughtful guidance and illuminating applications, Welfel helps readers understand their own vulnerability to unethical behavior and teaches ways to help reduce the risk of committing such violations.
