Up-to-date, challenging, and provocative, this revision of Corey, Corey, and Callanans best-selling text is a practical manual for dealing with the ethical issues that all professionals confront at various stages in their development. The authors explore such questions as: How do the therapists values and life experiences affect the therapeutic process? What are the rights and responsibilities of client and helper? How can helping professionals determine their own level of competence? How can therapists provide quality services for culturally diverse populations? What are some major ethical issues facing practitioners in marital and family therapy? in group work? in community agencies? in private practice? Emphasizing that ethical decision making is an ongoing process with no easy answers, the book provides readers with the knowledge and understanding they need to effectively think through issues they will confront. Exceptionally well researched, well organized, and well written, the Fourth Edition continues to offer many case vignettes, questions, activities, and self-inventories that involve readers in a personal way.
