Description
Issues and Ethics in the Helping Professions, 10th Edition (Corey, Corey & Corey)
Ethics codes tell you the boundary. They rarely tell you what to do inside it, where most real dilemmas live. The Coreys built this book around that gap: it is contemporary, practical, and unusually candid about the fact that thoughtful practitioners disagree.
The result is the relied-upon text across counselling, psychology, social work, marriage and family therapy and human services — and one that many students return to well into professional practice.
Issues the Book Works Through
- The counsellor as a person — values, self-awareness, and the ways a practitioner’s own material enters the room.
- Informed consent and confidentiality, including the limits and the duty to warn.
- Multiple relationships and boundary issues — the area that generates the most complaints and the least consensus.
- Competence, training and supervision — knowing the edge of your own practice.
- Multicultural and social justice perspectives in ethical practice.
- Ethics in couples, family and group work, where the client is more than one person.
- Community practice and professional liability.
How It Teaches
- Self-inventories that surface your existing assumptions before the chapter argues with them.
- Open-ended cases with commentary from the authors rather than a single correct answer.
- Direct engagement with the professional codes of the major associations.
Who It Is For
- Counselling, clinical psychology, social work and human services students.
- Marriage and family therapy and school counselling trainees.
- Supervisors and practicum instructors.
- Practising clinicians preparing for licensure examinations with an ethics component.
