Product Description
Review
"…It is strong in its presentation of the ethics and laws related to confidentiality and its emphasis on the primacy of the client′s welfare as a focus of coaching." (PsycCritiques, February 14, 2007)
Product Description
"This book provides an easy–to–read introduction to the core ethical and professional issues faced by all coaches irrespective of length of coaching experience. The case studies and guidelines in this book will help coaches constructively reflect on their coaching practice, and will help build the solid ethical foundation that professional coaching practice demands. A very useful text for both the beginning and experienced coach."
––Anthony M. Grant, PhD, Director, Coaching Psychology Unit, University of Sydney

Format:Hardcover
"Law & Ethics in Coaching" is a compilation of 10 chapters by professional coaches and coach trainers. Each chapter takes up a different aspect: background on ethics, developing and maintaining client trust, developing coaching competence, ethical use of assessments, legal issue, culture & ethics, and a few other topics. Not the most riveting of topics, but very practical!
Despite the title, there's not a lot in the book about coaching and specific laws, which is good since all laws are localized. Ethics on the other hand, have a broader scope. The various authors appear to be based in the USA, but also purport a lot of international expertise. One chapter speaks to the intersection of ethics and culture.
Although most coaches would benefit from reading this book, it's a great resource for supervisors/mentors of coaches, coach trainers, or someone writing up internal coaching policies for an organization.

Great resource that goes deeper into possible legal and ethical issues than the most frequently anticipated events. I appreciate the thorough examination of potential pitfalls and how to avoid them.

Some good information, a lot of US centric stuff
7 Mar 2010
Format:Hardcover
A collections of essays where a professional coach can find some value.
The pure legal stuff is US centric, thus worthless for foreign readers.
The non legal stuff is probably more useful to academic staff and researchers than to professional coaches or corporate HR professionals.
For those interested, it also contains the ICF code of ethics, which however may be outdated by the time you read the book, so take it more as an example.
