Synopsis

Closer regulation of psychological counselling means that an awareness of the professional, legal and ethical considerations is vital.

The Handbook of Professional and Ethical Practice brings together leading therapists and psychologists who have a wealth of knowledge and experience of their subjects. Each chapter places particular emphasis on the current codes of practice and ethical principles underpinning safe ethical practice and the implications for practitioners. Comprehensive coverage of the legal, clinical and ethical considerations involved in research and training is provided and the reflective questions at the end of every chapter serve to prompt further discussion of the issues. The following subjects are covered:

* professional practice and ethical considerations
* legal considerations and responsibilities
* clinical considerations and responsibilities
* working with diversity - professional practice and ethical considerations
* research, supervision and training.

This innovative Handbook provides a supportive guide to the major professional, legal and ethical issues encountered by trainees on counselling, clinical psychology and psychotherapy courses, as well as providing an invaluable resource for more experienced therapists and other members of the helping professions.

Media Reviews

'This is a timely book, filling a long-felt gap in the literature on professional matters for therapists, psychologists... the editors bring together a set of valuable chapters covering most aspects of professional practice and ethics that are relevant to psychologists, counsellors and psychotherapists... there is no doubt that this volume will be of great value to all those working as therapists and those involved in training therapists.' - Padmal de Silva, Sexual and Relationship Therapy

'This is a major addition to the professional literature... the book deserves to become standard reading on all counselling training course modules on professional practice.' - Counselling and Psychotherapy Journal, April 2005

'there is not sufficient space here to them [chapters]all the justice they deserve. There is much that is worth pursuing in all the chapters. I recommend therapists to peruse the book for themselves.' - Judi H. Miller, British Journal of Guidance and Counselling
