Issues and Ethics in the Helping Professions 10th edition (tenth edition)

About this book

Issues and Ethics in the Helping Professions 10th edition by Gerald Corey, Marianne Schneider Corey, and Cindy Corey examines the ethical and professional responsibilities that shape counseling, psychotherapy, social work, and other helping relationships. The book focuses on the decisions practitioners face in real settings, including informed consent, confidentiality, professional boundaries, competence, cultural responsiveness, and conflicts between personal values and client welfare.

The 10th edition covers ethical decision making, professional codes and standards, multicultural competence, counselor values, client rights, confidentiality and privileged communication, managing boundaries and multiple relationships, competence, supervision and consultation, group work, couples and family practice, community and school settings, technology based services, and ethical issues connected with diagnosis and assessment. Case material and discussion questions help students examine competing responsibilities rather than treating ethics as a list of fixed rules.

This book is especially useful for Counseling Students, Clinical Mental Health Counseling Students, Psychology Students, Social Work Students, Marriage and Family Therapy Students, School Counseling Students, Counselor Education Students, Human Services Students, Practicum and Internship Students, and helping professionals reviewing ethical standards. It is particularly relevant for courses that require analysis of realistic dilemmas involving privacy, documentation, professional limits, cultural differences, and client protection.

Counseling students, social work students, psychology trainees, family therapy students, school counselors, interns, and practicing helping professionals can use this edition to work through ethical conflicts, compare professional obligations, and strengthen decision making before entering or advancing in clinical practice. The 10th edition is available as a searchable PDF enhanced digital version with instant access, so you can begin studying immediately for ethics coursework, practicum, internship, supervision, licensure preparation, or professional review.
