Jenkins' book makes the law relevant, understandable and manageable to counsellors and psychotherapists. It makes clear, reassuring and essential reading for therapists in training as well as those in practice. [All] counsellors and psychotherapisys need to be up to speed with the law and with how it relates to their work. This book is more than timely with the impending introduction of regulation, and the fact that increasingly the work of counsellors and psychotherapists is being subjected to legal scrutiny.
Peter Jenkins has consulted widely over the content of this book, both within the psychological therapies field and with legal eagles. [His] use of clear flow diagrams and comparison boxes enable the reader to identify the similarities and differences between professional and moral/ethical debates. It is a thoroughly researched and accessible text.
A comprehensive overview of a rapidly evolving field. This book represents a helpful addition to practitioners' bookshelves as a reference work, but also a beneficial read to stimulate thoughtful responses to practical dilemmas. It provides a good support to both therapeutic and supervision practices across the spectrum of experience and theoretical models.
Despite requiring real concentration, this is an essential read for counsellors and psychotherapists irrespective of background and theoretical orientation. Trainers, supervisors and agency coordinators especially would benefit from the up to date material contained here.
Clear, concise access to understanding and applying the law in relation to counselling and psychotherapy. Provides key overview of the impact of the law for counsellors. Enables students to recognise their ethical boundaries within the therapeutic environment.
This is an excellent book for students preparing to go out on placement, it gives a detailed account of ethical/legal considerations of their work and uses case studies/examples throughout. This book will be a valuable resource for our students and is being recommended as essential reading
Excellent, readable and down to earth material and scenarios. I used this book with 2nd year BSc counselling students just recently and they all agree that it is the one book that every trainee and therapist should have on the shelf.
Highly recommended, comprehensive text on psychotherapy and the law. Good chapters on a variety of aspects such as confidentiality, data protection etcetera. Students have found this to be a good resource for their essays and presentations. Not only a good introductory text.
A standard on this topic which is readable and easy for students to use
this is an excellent book. But it will be a suplemental reading.
This is a good book in an area where legal books are limited. The book gives a good introduction to the legal principles relating to counselling and psychotherapy. The case studies are useful in applying legal principles to issues in practice. As the focus is on the English legal system the book will be a refernce text for students.
This is quite the best and most interesting book I have read on the subject of the law related to issues specific to professionals dealing with mental health. Although the primary audience is those working in the counselling and psychotherapy fields, the book is also highly recommended for mental health nursing students and students of any discipline who are interested in case and common law outside of the Mental Health Act. An excellent book.
A most valuable addition to our library.
This book already exists on our recommended reading list for the module Personal and Professional Development Ethics and the Law. I have recommended this title to my students. It has benifited me with the delivery of this module.
Comprehensive and readable guide to working within the Law.
An absolute must read for all Foundation Degree Students.
This book leaves no stone unturned with it's comprehensive coverage of the topic.
The case studies are perfect for new students struggling with the abstract as it gives something concrete and simple to follow.
I appreciated the straight forward and easy to track layout of the book.
A fascinating read about the interface between counselling and law
