""For the clients who see us in counseling . . . theological purity will make little difference if we do not practice with ethical integrity.""Randolph K. Sanders, from chapter oneThe work of psychotherapy and counseling is full of ethical challenges and dilemmas. Responding to these situations with wisdom is critical, not only for the professional?s credibility, but also for good therapeutic relationships and positive treatment outcomes. Since its first publication, Christian Counseling Ethics has become a standard reference work for Christian psychologists, counselors and pastors and a key text at Christian universities and seminaries. This thoroughly revised edition retains core material on counseling ethics that has made it so valuable in a variety of settings. Now fully updated, it weighs and assesses new and emerging ethical issues in the field. For example, the current volume explores ethical issues involved in: multiple relationships confidentiality documentation therapist competence and character addressing spiritual and value issues in therapy teletherapy individual and couples therapy counseling with minors psychological first aid after disasters counseling crossculturally In addition, the book considers dilemmas Christian therapists face in specific settings such as: church-based counseling centers government and military institutions missions organizations college counseling centers Psychologist Randolph Sanders has assembled a distinguished team of clinicians and academicians to address the issues.

Reviews

Overall, I feel the book is one that can be used by students just entering the world of mental health (or pastoral counseling) along with seasoned therapists it is an accessible, practical and enjoyable read. It is also a work I believe educators and researchers of mental health will find valuable as a resource it is both comprehensive, but concisely written. --Joyce Wagner, Journal of Psychology and Christianity, 2014, Vol. 33, No. 3
