A Job Well Done!!!

The book was received on a timely basis and in great condition. And the book itself is awesome!!!

Phenomenal ethics book!

This ethics textbook is not truly like a textbook. The case examples and lack of jargon make this book a joy to read. Although we have one to two chapters to read for each class, the reading is not hard and is completed fairly quickly. I would recommend this book to anyone who is looking at the blend of psychology and ethics. Koocher's model of ethics that he presents in one of the chapters is an essential for ethics decision-making when entering into the clinical field.

Excelente condiciones. Excelent conditions!

How to be a great therapist!

This exceptional new ethics book is one I share with friends and students at Baylor University who are or wish to become, professional therapists, coaches, or psychologists. The book's wisdom, advice and research go way beyond any professional ethics code in existence. In a fun, engaging style peppered with colorful case histories, these highly trained and experienced authors tell us how to chart the ethical minefield that is counseling, coaching, therapy, family therapy, social work, psychiatry, or clinical psychology. But their approach is positive rather than defensive. That is, we strive to be ethical as part of our pursuit of excellence. We strive to be ethical in order to express our caring and compassion to those we help--people we care for and encourage in the same way we would like to see a loved one cared for and encouraged. Only the best will do. The best therapy or coaching is intertwined with the best ethics like stripes on a peppermint stick. Buy this book. You will not be disappointed.

The Classic Work On Ethics for Psychologists

This is the classic work on how to practice ethically for psychologists who engage in clinical work, teaching, research, administration, or any other domain of professional activity. Not only does if offer a thorough review of the literature on ethical behavior, it provides a truly detailed analysis of how the ethics code applies to a vast range of contexts, client types, and vexing clinical dilemmas. What's more, the book is filled with interesting, and sometimes entertaining case vignettes--many of them based on actual ethical complaints. No other book on the market for psychologists offers this combination of clarity and thoroughness. It is a must for the library of any serious psychology graduate student or psychologist. When I teach Ethics at the graduate level, it is the only text I require.
