Revised to reflect recent ethical, legal, and professional developments, Welfel's ETHICS IN COUNSELING AND PSYCHOTHERAPY prepares readers to deal effectively with the issues they will confront in practice. The book's ten-step model for ethical decision making guides students and practitioners as they work through and analyze complicated ethics cases that demonstrate some of the most challenging dilemmas they will face. Updated to integrate the new 2014 ACA Code of Ethics, this edition also explores how technology (including social networking) relates to ethical issues, and discusses the ethical issues that may arise when counseling clients from different cultural backgrounds, clients with disabilities, older adults, and clients at risk of harming others and themselves. The text familiarizes readers with the field's key scholarly writings and, by examining emerging ethical issues, enables students to advance beyond their basic awareness and knowledge of the professional codes of ethics.

New to this edition

Chapter 4, "Competence to Practice: Building a Foundation for Doing Good and Avoiding Harm," includes new content that examines the implications of recent court decisions on situations related to conflicts between trainee and practitioner personal values and professional responsibilities.

This edition integrates the new 2014 ACA Code of Ethics, including updated content on boundary issues and the limits of confidentiality as presented in the 2014 code. The author reviews and explores the implications of the new code for professional practice, paying special attention to changes from the earlier version.

Extensive coverage of the role of technology in professional practice includes discussion of both the ethical and legal dimensions of distance practice.

Additional coverage of the neuroscience of morality is presented along with the implications for ethical decision making.

The author presents coverage of ethical issues that arise when clients may be at risk for harming others and themselves (homicide-suicide), as well as updated material on the responsibilities of mental health professionals under the Affordable Care Act.

Features

ETHICS IN COUNSELING AND PSYCHOTHERAPY addresses ethical issues for counselors working in such diverse settings as private practice, hospitals, day treatment settings, health maintenance organizations, and community health centers.

A ten-step model for ethical decision making provides a structure for competent response to both straightforward and complex ethical questions. This comprehensive model guides students through a systematic way to analyze ethical issues.

This contemporary text contains numerous case studies, followed by the author's analysis of the cases, helping students to better structure their thinking and to apply professional standards to complex cases. Additionally, Dr. Welfel discusses the attitudes, skills, and competencies critical for ethical practice in a multicultural society.

Dr. Welfel gives thorough attention to ethics, legal research, and professional literature, covering major topics in ethics (such as consent, confidentiality and multiple relationships) and in applied settings (such as community mental health, private practice, schools, and teaching/research). Coverage of timely topics includes: the relationship of multiculturalism to the ethics of professional practice, electronic communication with clients, cyberbullying, positive psychology, and the legal and ethical responsibilities with violent clients.

Welfel highlights the relationship between legal developments and the professional responsibilities of counselors, psychologists, and other mental health professionals, particularly in the chapters relating to competence, confidentiality, informed consent, practice with diverse populations, and boundary issues. She also identifies methods students can use to search out relevant laws in their jurisdictions.

The author explores the relationship between technology and ethics, with special attention to ethical issues that emerge from online communication and social networking sites in both educational and community settings, as well as the ethical dimensions of distance practice.

Chapter 3 on cultural issues in professional practice discusses responsible work with clients with disabilities, international clients, and aging clients. Additionally, it offers detailed examination of the relationship between culturally competent practice, social justice, and the ethics of advocacy on behalf of clients. It also incorporates recently published guidelines for practice with diverse populations (such as APA's documents on psychological practice with older adults and ACA's competencies for counseling transgendered clients and cross-cultural clients).

The book offers an in-depth examination of the role of personal values in ethical practice, integrating this discussion with the content on positive ethics and ethics as a focus on ethical ideals and client welfare rather than a set of self-protective rules. The author also discusses ethical difficulties that professionals face in light of the systemic problems with mental health service and educational bureaucracies in the U.S.

Content on counseling college students is distributed throughout the text.

Content on mental health information privacy issues related to managed care and federal regulations prepares students to deal responsibly in community settings.
