Publisher's Synopsis
Welfel/Leach's "Ethics in Counseling and Psychotherapy," 7th Edition, prepares you to effectively deal with complex ethical and legal issues. The 10-step model for ethical decision-making guides you through complicated ethics cases and challenging dilemmas. This edition places greater emphasis on the non-rational and emotional factors that affect ethical decision-making and practice. Coverage includes legal research and the professional literature of major topics in ethics (consent, confidentiality, competence to practice and multiple relationships) and in applied settings (community mental health, private practice, schools and teaching/research). Among other changes, this edition integrates the abundant recent scholarship on competent practice with diverse clients and the role of technology, social media and online counseling in ethical practice.
