Currently studying for licensure exam. I will review this amazing book in greater detail after I pass :-)

In brief:

This book is punk AF without even knowing it.

The case study examples are so intense and thought provoking, that it makes the often dry and lifeless practice of working through challenging ethical dilemmas extremely fun and engaging.

I highly recommend this text.

I know it's odd to review a book I had to read for school, but I think this is the first one where I've read all the assigned chapters. The book is easy to follow, the chapters are well-organized and it doesn't feel like school reading. I wish all school books were this easy to follow.

I've enjoyed using this textbook, as it has lots of practical guidance. I do wish the authors would expand it to cover issues for Family Therapists and Social Workers. Some of the telehealth sections need updating. While most chapters offer good examples for students, some are difficult to follow. Overall this is a very good reference text, and appropriate for intro ethics courses.
