An authoritative exploration of the most difficult ethical, legal, and professional challenges in counseling, presented in an easy-to-understand manner. Written by two counseling professors – one an attorney and the other an expert in ethics – Ethical, Legal, and Professional Issues in Counseling walks readers through the ethical, legal, and professional challenges they will encounter in their counseling careers. It includes numerous case studies throughout to highlight ethical and legal situations faced by counselors, and it also includes the authors’ best thinking and practical advice on how to resolve these situations. The book focuses squarely on the counseling profession, as opposed to psychiatry or other helping professions.
