Ethics For Addiction Professionals-Second Edition

I think that this is an excellent book that helps to provide the necessary guidance to an addiction professional. It would be great, if perhaps, there could be a workshop created by these individuals. I am recommending that a workshop be developed within my agency, and I will be using this book as my primary resource.

Served its purpose!

I needed this book for a class. The book served its purpose. Although it is a bit out of date the info continues to be relevant. Got an A in the class!

A great start

Bissell and Royce have provided a much needed resource in this area. Especially pertinent are the sections addressing the competence of "recovered" addicts to counsel others. I would like to have seen some space devoted to analysis of case studies, such as the ones that were merely presented in the appendix. Perhaps in a future volume?
