Sommario/riassunto

"Becoming an Ethical Helping Professional takes mental health professionals on a wide-ranging tour of ethics, covering both the theoretical and practical aspects of providing sound, responsible care. Coverage goes beyond a laundry-list approach to rules of conduct, examining the philosophical roots of today's professional codes. Engaging case studies explore how ethical rules and principles apply in real-world settings and specialties. This edition also provides access to the Video Resource Center (VRC), which includes videos of experts



discussing cultural dynamics, life experiences, and philosophical positions that inform ethics in counseling and psychotherapy."-- Publisher's description.
