Gets the job done, but like any ethics book, it’s pretty boring and dry. I wish there were more explanations and reasoning/understanding rather than just laws and examples. I don’t teach this class so I’m not sure if there’s better out there, but I know this one wasn’t it for me.

Wordy but gives great examples of ethical dilemmas within the MFT practice.

Boring, plot was all over the place tbh. Where is the fantasy? The romance?
