Ethics in Counseling Psychology: Principles and Practices

By: Girma (PhD, EdD, PsyD), Prof. Abba Hailegebriel

About the Book: Ethics in Counseling Psychology: Principles and Practices introduces counseling psychology as a discipline focused on promoting psychological well-being through prevention, intervention, and personal development. Unlike other areas of psychology that concentrate on diagnosing mental disorders, counseling psychology takes a holistic, developmental approach, addressing life issues like identity, career, family, and coping with adversity. Central to the profession is a strong ethical foundation grounded in compassion, respect, and integrity. Ethics in counseling are viewed as dynamic and evolving, adapting to changes in culture, society, and technology. Modern ethical practice includes navigating complex issues like digital privacy, multicultural competence, and social justice. The book offers a comprehensive exploration of these ethical dimensions through thematic chapters, covering topics such as confidentiality, dual relationships, informed consent, multicultural ethics, crisis intervention, digital ethics, and more -- each contributing to a nuanced understanding of ethical responsibilities in diverse counseling contexts.
