"The 6th edition of Ethics in Psychotherapy and Counseling is a practical and indispensable guide for clinicians. The volume is filled with up-to-date information and actionable steps on ethics including telehealth and social media. What sets the book apart is its consistent attention to an ethics grounded in dignity, respect, and human rights. I am excited about its release!"

"This is the best psychology ethics book on the market; a must-have resource for any applied psychologist or mental health professional. The internationally recognized scholars and practitioners use research, case examples, legal decisions, and diversity-related topics to bring ethical dilemmas to life. This volume makes me excited to teach on ethics."

-David H. Barlow PhD, ABPP,Professor of Psychology and Psychiatry Emeritus;Founder, Center for Anxiety and Related Disorders (CARD), Boston University





"No other ethics text comes close to matching its comprehensiveness. The 6th edition is a paradigm of excellence and should be required reading for all mental health practitioners."


-Derald Wing Sue, PhD, Professor of Psychology and Education Teachers College, Columbia University





"This 6th edition of Ethics in Psychotherapy and Counseling takes ethical reasoning and practice to a new level by addressing the complexity of video conferencing and the use of digital tools while emphasizing issues of diversity, equity, and inclusion. An absolute must-read for all clinicians."


-Martin Drapeau, PhD, Professor, McGill University; former editor of Canadian Psychology





"Like all areas of human functioning, ethics is influenced by culture. Yet, during my psychological training over 20 years ago, the recognition and inclusion of topics related to culture and other diverse aspects of the human experience (e.g., race, gender, religion, sexual orientation) in ethics were marginalized, if they were mentioned at all. In this 6th edition of Ethics in Psychotherapy and Counseling, the authors have updated an already classic book that is responsive to the emergent needs of this historical moment."


-Kevin O. Cokley, PhD, Professor of Educational Psychology and African and African Diaspora Studies, The University of Texas at Austin





"The authors of this 6th edition continue to represent the 'conscience of psychology.' The inclusion of new and important material makes this the essential handbook of ethics in contemporary psychology."


-Bonnie R. Strickland, PhD, Former President, American Psychological Association





"This is a MUST READ for both beginning and seasoned clinicians. KUDOS!"
