Embodying standards and ethics in counselling and psychotherapy are essential foundation stones for good practice.
This book clarifies numerous areas including therapeutic roles and responsibilities, boundaries, case conceptualisation and record keeping.
It is a valuable resource not only for students but also provides an updated 'refresher' for existing counsellors and psychotherapists.

This, for us, is a classic and necessary title. Although it is not a mandatory title for our students to purchase, we see this as an essential classic for all trainees and qualified counsellors. Laws and Standards related to the profession are of course subject to continued review and update. This new edition is most welcome.
