"The textbook provides counselor trainees with a no-nonsense analysis of the relevant ethical issues they will face in their clinical work. It is written in clear and concise language and provides its readers with wonderful opportunities for self-exploration and professional development. The authors have done a great job of providing supportive research and of integrating this research into relevant practice issues.
