Since it first appeared in 1993, this highly acclaimed text has been the leading guide to counselling ethics. Developed in line with the BACP′s own guidelines, its discussion of a wide range of ethical problems and advice on identifying and resolving these dilemmas has made it an invaluable resource. In this fully revised and updated edition, the author takes account of the changing legal, professional and cultural context of counselling and considers recent developments in law concerning the implementation of the Human Rights Act and child protection that impact on counselling.

Review

"This is a very thought-provoking and valuable resource for anybody undertaking counselling, either as practitioner and even as a client. The book is not only very easy to read but also extremely interesting. It should form the basis of all counselling and psychotherapy training and be a well-thumbed resident on everyone′s bookshelf"

Grainne Griffin, Head of the Professional Conduct Department, BACP

I bought this book on the recommendation of my tutor, it's referred to for the module I am studying. It's perfect, written in such a way that its a joy to read and very course relevant. You really need to buy this edition, the 3rd edition, as it's completely up to date. If you are on a counselling course, or a qualified counsellor, you need this book in your life.

Excellent book. I am not a counsellor but the book is easy to understand and explains the complex issues of ethics in counselling in a straightforward and down to earth way, without too much jargon. Excellent explanations and examples of breaches of ethics. Ideal for research and/or for clients or anyone wanting to formally complain about a counsellor.

4.0 out of 5 stars Solid, informative and clear

I am a new student of psychotherapy and originally undertook the reading of this book somewhat reluctantly as a litigious aside to the more absorbing study of counselling and psychotherapeutic theory, yet found something more valuable than I had envisioned. I think that essentially the book describes very well the position that without ethics a therapeutic relationship is not actually possible. I started out with the idea that there was therapy, and that it must give nod to ethics in order to stay within the law and to best ensure the protection of the client/patient. It is obvious now that without a clear understanding of the ethics involved that one does not truly understand the therapeutic relationship and the mechanisms at work. It ends by giving a very useful guide on how to approach solving the inevitable ethical dilemmas encountered on the road of acting as therapist.

I think Tim Bond deserves credit for taking a subject matter that could so easily have been dry and giving life and verve to it. I would recommend this to anyone who wishes to further their understanding of psychotherapy and the therapist/client relationship.
