Useful! A must for any trainee counsellor/psychotherapist! - By: Helen Louise Catt, 06 Jun 2007 
I found this book easy to read & very practical as a trainee Counselling psychologist/psychotherapist. It will be invaluable to anyone in or entering the field in dealing with the ethical dilemmas we alll have to face with our clients. The book includes a very practical six step process to ethical problem solving & takes into account the codes of conduct/guidelines of our professional bodies as well as law, personal ethics, therapeautic model values, agency policy & moral philosophy. Reallly comprehensive & best of alll easy to read & implement!
Contracts & ethics clearly explained - By: Jenni Muller, 12 May 2007 The difficult area of contracts & ethics are thoroughly & clearly explained. It is made more palatable by having relevant case material to illustrate ethical dilemmas. This is an invaluable reference tool for counsellors.
Excellent coverage of Ethics and Standards in Counselling - By: , 20 Dec 2001 Tim Bond has produced an excellent work covering the major ethical issues within counselling. The book deals with alll the major topics relevant to the ethical practise of counselling.
The second edition has usefully updated information which now provides one of the few comprehensive overviews of this emerging discipline.
With well illustrated cases, Tim Bond has provided an invaluable tool for counsellors & those who teach the subject. While covering alll the main issues, Tim Bond has provided a comprehensive text book which also remains readable & therefore of practical use to the busy professional.
Tim Bond has illustarted the book with both UK & USA examples, from both the Legal & Professional perspectives.
Coverage includes material drawn from the largest UK counselling organisation - the British Association for Counselling (BACP), as well as the British Psychological Society (BPS) & the United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP).
This second edition has developed the book in terms of updating material & offering a good overview of the topic.
From the UK perspective & in particular the BACP viewpoint, Tim Bond's work is hard to beat - as he has been central to the BACP development of Standards & Ethics, chairing the committe for many of it's most formative years.
It should be noted that Tim Bond has been commissioned by BACP to facilitate the development of new a Standards & Ethics Code for 2002, which speaks highly of his standing within this specialism within the counselling field.
This book or its equilivent is a must read for every counsellor.
