Customer Reviews

A good book but out of date

I have used this book in many of my Ethics classes. I wish I could continue to use it, but as the previous reviewer has pointed out, it is now out of date. I would love to see the author publish a new edition. If she does not have time to do so, I would be glad to help her revise this valuable work book for Human Services undergrads!!

Good, but needs to be updated

I use this book in a college class I teach and have found it to be helpful as a vehicle for discussion. My only complaint is that it needs to be revised. This edition was published 5 years ago. Some of the ethics codes for mental health providers that are included in the back of the book have changed. The American Psychological Association, for example, issued a new ethics code in 2003. Now would be a good time for the author to revise and update the book. Additional ethical scenarios could be included, information on the new government-mandated privacy laws, etc. Otherwise, the book may lose its usefulness as the laws and mental health field change.
