Issues and Ethics in the Helping Professions

I enjoyed this book. I enjoyed the open ended question that the writers pose at nearly the end of every chapter. The books encourages the reader to think for him/herself. The chapter on HMO was interesting. I thought that the writers provided a poignant example on why sessions and reimbursements are so limited under HMO's.

The tests that come with the instructor book are not accurate. I am a lawyer and I took the test and several of their answers were wrong. The authors don't seem to realize that law is not always cut and dry but open to argument and interpretation. Laws don't always apply as one size fits all, especially in a murky area like ethics.

This text is a required reading for my work in a Masters in Mental Health Counseling. Very well written, great information and lots of thoughts on many ethical issues. If this book doesn't make you question yourself, I am not sure anything else will. I will keep this text.

I was very pleased when I received this book. My daughter is an undergraduate at Bowie University and she has been trying to find this book. The price was very reasonable and I received it in a few days. I will continue exploring Amazon for books that she needs during her studies because of the price and how fast the books are delivered.

I enjoy reading this book for my masters class. It is written for easy reading but is not dumbed down. Very thought provoking.
