Summary

The increase in professionalization of psychological counselling and the increasing use of litigation against therapists and psychologists means that an awareness of the professional, legal and ethical considerations is vital.The Handbook of Professional andEthical Practicebrings together a range of writers who each have a wealth of knowledge and experience of their subjects. Each chapter places particular emphasis on the current codes of practice and ethical principles underpinning safe ethical practice and the implications for practitioners. This innovative handbook provides a supportive guide to the major professional, legal and ethical considerations faced by trainees on counselling, clinical psychology and psychotherapy courses, as well as providing an invaluable resource for more experienced therapists and other members of the helping professions.
