A main resource for undergraduate and graduate courses in Counseling Ethics and Legal Issues in Counseling; or as a supplement for Introduction to Counseling, Practicum, or Internship courses.     From two leading scholars in the field of counseling, written specifically for the future practicing counselor, this comprehensive volume offers an in-depth examination of the counseling profession.      Thoroughly



revised in this new edition, the authors continue to approach each professional issue in counseling from both an ethical and a legal point of view, offering readers a complete, integrated exploration of all facets. Difficult issues are addressed in a straightforward manner, and practical, realistic advice is proffered through vignettes that showcase typical situations and dilemmas faced by practicing counselors. The robust selection of chapters will prepare students of counseling and other pre-mental health professionals with the greatest range and depth of ethical and legal issues facing the counseling profession today. In this revision, the authors have maintained the unique and superior qualities they wrote to set this text apart from others in the field, however, made the necessary updates and changes appropriate for the current time in counseling practice. Ethical, Legal, and Professional Issues in Counseling, 4/e, will be a mainstay text and guided resource for counselors preparing for their own practice, a trusted volume that they will likely keep on their professional bookshelf to reference and revisit for years to come.
