Product Description
Product Description
The work of every school of psychotherapy and every therapist is inevitably structured by a value system and requires codes of ethics and practice. This book addresses the conscious and unconscious aspects of the value system in which therapists are situated. Values and Ethics in the Practice of Psychotherapy and Counselling explores the central issues through the experience of the contributors, each of whom is well known in this field. Each chapter will raise questions for the reader which will stimulate individual thinking about practice or can form a basis for discussion and debate for training or graduate groups. The book is firmly rooted in practice. Each chapter deals with a different aspect of the psychotherapist's work beginning with the general underlying principles, continuing through matters of technique and on to contextual issues. Finally the book moves to the outer world, politics and spirituality as ways of connecting inner and outer, social and individual. The arrangement of chapters allows for flexibility and creativity while providing a coherent structure.
Values and Ethics in the Practice of Psychotherapy and Counselling is recommended reading for psychotherapists, psychoanalysts and counsellors in training and practice.

Food for thought, perhaps not the main entree
27 May 2008
Rather than a textbook overview, this book offers a collection of essays gathered and edited by practitioners who have also served on committees and boards dedicated to professional ethics and/or values. In their introduction, the editors offer that primers on values and ethics already exist (Barnes handily offers her own Complaints and Grievances in Psychotherapy,1998, as an example, to which I would add Corey & Corey's Issues and Ethics, 2003). Instead of organizing the text for the student or beginning professional to seek answers to the question "What should I do?" in this or that situation, this book instead offers essays on a range of topics that address the "intersection of therapy and philosophical values." (Barnes & Murdin, xvi).
Often assigned to graduate students this book might be more suitable, perhaps, as a supplementary text rather than a primary text in a values and ethics course. But what this book lacks in structure, it makes up for with a plethora of ideas and variety of opinions that are sure to inspire much thought and discussion.
