MORE ABOUT THIS BOOK
Main description:
Moving well beyond the standard review of ethical issues and basic ethical problem solving, this highly engaging text for counseling professionals offers activity-based learning that is grounded in critical, philosophical thinking and clinical integrity. The text is unique in its provision of innovative, experiential activities and case studies that promote in-depth thinking about the ethical and moral and legal issues often confronted by counseling professionals. It presents ethical practice from a positive, proactive point of view rather than from a reactive or fear-based stance, and provides a solid foundation in ethical decision-making, critical thinking, and best practices that will enable counseling professionals to confidently navigate the maze of ethical codes and standards of care while confidently practicing in a consistently ethical manner.
The accompanying Instructor's Manual offers professors step-by-step instructions on how to facilitate the activities and case study discussions, as well as a sample syllabus, additional readings, and relevant web sites. The manual will also direct professors to video clips that may be helpful in illustrating ethical dilemmas. The text is congruent with relevant ethical codes and CACREP curriculum standards. In addition to its value to counseling professionals, the text will also be of interest to practitioners and facilitators in ethics workshops.
