Just finished this for my ethics class. Although I don’t agree with everything, I really enjoyed the book and learning more about the counseling field. It made me want to keep learning!

Frustratingly American for an Australian audience, but comprehensive and informative nonetheless. Read in conjunction with the MindTap features, I can see why the course coordinators can't find an Australian alternative that contains as much material.

I learned a lot about values in counseling from this book. It definitely brought about a lot of important introspection.

I was frustrated with the politicized aspects of this book. I think that by alienating perspectives and value systems, some clients will not receive the help that works best for them. Additionally, therapists have to give up or bend their values to not lose their licenses.

There was some great information in here, but some of the chapters were very repetitive and there were a lot of typos.

3 stars — chapters can be repetitive, but still did learn a lot from this book. I enjoyed the teachable quality of the material and review-oriented aspects.

I only read this for my masters program but actually enjoyed it! The writing is accessible and the subject matter is interesting and important. It did get a little repetitive in the later chapters.

This book is very helpful for gaining greater understanding and perspective on counseling ethics.

[Ashton E. · Rating 4 out of 5]

I loved the case examples and I think this book was laid out pretty clearly and not too repetitive. A good first ethics book for the counselor in training.

First class for grad school 2.0 done! Appreciated this book, particularly the case studies and voices from the field, but definitely repetitive at times especially in later chapters.

3 stars. Funny how secular ethics are part of the trend cycle.
