| Issues and Ethics in the Helping Professions | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
Up-to-date and comprehensive, this practical best-selling text now available with an online personalized study plan, helps students learn how to deal with and apply ethical standards. The authors provide readers with the basis for discovering their own guidelines within the broad limits of professional codes of ethics and divergent theoretical positions. They raise what they consider to be central issues, present a range of diverse views on these issues, discuss their position, and provide readers with many opportunities to refine their own thinking and to actively develop their own position. The authors explore such questions as: What role do the therapist's personal values play in the counseling relationship? What ethical responsibilities and rights do clients and therapists have? And, what considerations are involved in adapting counseling practice to diverse client populations?

I enjoyed this book. I enjoyed the open ended question that the writers pose at nearly the end of every chapter. The books encourages the reader to think for him/herself. The chapter on HMO was interesting. I thought that the writers provided a poignant example on why sessions and reimbursements are so limited under HMO's.

I was very pleased when I received this book. My daughter is an undergraduate at Bowie University and she has been trying to find this book. The price was very reasonable and I received it in a few days. I will continue exploring Amazon for books that she needs during her studies because of the price and how fast the books are delivered.

I enjoy reading this book for my masters class. It is written for easy reading but is not dumbed down. Very thought provoking.

I had to purchase a copy of this book for an introductory masters course in ethics for counselors. I really like the book a lot, except that the chapters are incredibly long (often running 50+ pages apiece) for topics that do not require more than 20. What the author has done is ask contributing writers to add text and case studies that are often repetitive and unnecessary to the discussion. That strikes one star from a possible five.
The second strike is the ambiguity of the subject itself, which provides no concrete answers. This is inherit in ethics itself, but there needs to be solid answers for masters students who must, ultimately, take the licensure test to practice in their respective state. Without solid answers, I have no idea how to face the multiple choice final quiz (worth 50% of my grade) in my class. I am worried that this book is too queasy and uncommitted to my success to provide real-world answers to questions on these licensure tests that I HAVE to know! If I flunk this class (and anything below 80% is flunking at the masters level) it will be this book's fault. I am actually doing everything I possibly can to supplement my reading outside of this book to ensure I know enough practical, real-world answers to ethical questions so that I will get thru this weed out course in counseling. Ugh. Thanks for nothing, Corey & Corey. If I pass the course, I will come back and upgrade this review to three stars instead of two. Right now, I am too upset with your equivocations and ultimately unsatisfying answers to give you credit for something that I think you, ultimately, failed to do. That is: help a poor student pass the course. (Review Data Last Updated: 2007-10-19 02:12:45 EST)

Can be a good resource for those involved in a helping profession. Can be a bit vague at times about what the "proper" solution to an ethical professional dilemma should be but still a decent guide book to get you thinking.

Confusing... there were many examples of ethical dilemmas and possible solutions but you are never told which is the correct solution, or at least the one which will keep you 'legally' safe.

This book gives the reader basic and more detailed information concerning ethnical considerations in the helping professions. Some is common sense, but most of it makes you think seriously about difficult situations.
