Values & Ethics in Counselling and Psychotherapy
This book offers an introduction to values and ethics in counselling and psychotherapy, helping you to develop the ethical awareness needed throughout the counselling process. The book covers:
- Context and emergence of ethics in counselling
- Exercises to explore personal and professional values
- Tools to develop ethical mindfulness
- Differences between therapeutic models
- Relational ethics
- Ethical dilemmas and issues
- Practice issues including confidentiality, boundaries and autonomy versus beneficence.
Using in-depth case studies of counselling students, the author demonstrates the constant relevance of values and ethics to counselling and psychotherapy, equipping trainees with the tools to successfully navigate values and ethics in their professional practice.
I have added this book to the list of recommended reading for the CPCAB counselling courses. It is a very straightforward book, reader friendly it has a variety of short exercises and case studies which students find very useful.
This book provides useful case examples and questions to enlarge thinking
A useful book with case studies and questions to enlarge thinking around thorny issues
This useful book provides clear and helpful information and is a good introduction to values and ethics within the helping relationship. The case study material makes précis connections between theory and practice with exercises throughout to help consolidate information.
Although the book is an essential must read for experienced counsellors and psychotherapist, the concepts covered are too complicated for a Certificate level.
This book complements the more ‘hands on’ texts used for our ethics modules. In particular this takes a more philosophical approach that is very suited to working with students at Masters level. We plan to use this to inspire deep thinking about values and therapeutic work, that will support practical problem solving and legal knowledge.
An essential resource for students and trainers - covers a wide range of relevant topics and the exercises are useful for either individual or group reflection.
(Not Early Years) This is an excellent text; its format, which creates student 'characters' for the reader to relate to throughout, personalises the subject in a meaningful way. The exercises are very useful for classroom activities and debates and the summary and timeline of philosophers is excellent.
Proctor has successfully written a book on counselling ethics that is both engaging and instructive. The activities provided throughout enable the reader to apply theory to themselves and to real life situations. I will be recommending this book to my students.
This book particularly provides a helpful walk through understanding values and how this impacts on therapy. It provides examples and exercised throughout, that I as a lecturer will work through with my students.
It also takes a no nonsense look at working ethically. A really helpful book.
