Ethical Reasoning in the Mental Health Professions

Ethical Reasoning in the Mental Health Professions provides readers with the needed background in methods of ethical reasoning and introduces an innovative nine-step model of ethical decision-making for resolving ethical dilemmas. This book discusses the ethical codes of both psychology and counseling. Its interdisciplinary approach promotes a better understanding of the similarities and differences in the points of emphasis in the two codes, which, in turn, serves to enrich professionals' understanding of the range of ethical considerations relevant to the practice of the mental health professions.
