Summary: Dr. Welfel is the "Grand Dame" of Ethics in Counseling.
Review: Dr. Welfel has devoted her career to the study of ethics in the helping profession. This text is the accumulated wisdom of her years of practical experience, research, as well as the experience and research of her peers. After reading this textbook you can rest assured that you have received a comprehensive look at ethics. You'll come away shocked at how ethics drives our every move as counselors, and you'll have a greater appreciation and respect for ethical decision making. The "10 Point Model for Ethical Decision Making" is worth the price of the book. While no text, code of ethics or any such compilation can provide the answers to every decision you will ever face, this book can provide guidance that will serve you well. One of the few textbooks I intend to keep and not re-sell. A masterpiece.

Summary: An insightful guide to ethical decision making.
Review: Elizabeth Reynolds Welfel has written an insightful and informative guide to ethical decision making for anyone in the helping professions. She presents her material in a clear and easily readable form. It is obvious that Dr. Welfel is an expert in the field and her vast knowledge of the research on ethical behavior is evident. Her nine-step model of ethical decision making is a clear blueprint for helping counselors and psychologists make informed and thoughtful ethical decisions. I have used this text to help my counseling students develop an understanding of the ethical standards and underlying principles of the counseling profession and I plan to continue to use it in the future. I highly recommend this book for anyone teaching in counselor or psychologist education, as well as for any mental health professional.
