Reviews for Values & Ethics in Counselling and Psychotherapy
Gillian Proctor has produced an insightful and thought-provoking book that takes us to the heart of human relating. She makes values and ethics a central part of the therapeutic process and this is illustrated throughout by a range of vignettes that skilfully balnce theory with practice. It is a book that speaks to the soul.
Dr Alistair Ross Gillian ... Read moreProctor has yet again given us a thought-provoking and compelling textbook. This latest book will be a very welcome publication for trainers, trainee practitioners and supervisors in particular. It is also a richly portrayed and ethically mindful journey through counselling processes and relationships that will be invaluable for therapists across the psychological therapies.
Dr Lynne Gabriel This, coupled with its unusual literary device, makes [Values and Ethics in Counselling and Psychotherapy] book ideal for experienced therapists’ groups and offers a ready-made CPD opportunity.
Louise Guy, counsellor psychotherapist and supervisor I am glad I read this book. Even though I have often focused on values and ethics in counselling, teaching and supervision over a long career in academia and beyond, this book meaningfully deepened my understanding of the subject, the complexity of the subject and the breadth of literature that has addressed the subject.
Dr Howard Kirschenbaum, Professor Emeritus and Former Chair, Department of Counseling and Human Development, Warner School of Education and Human Development, University of Rochester, New York, USA When I started reading I quickly realised that this is the best book I have read on ethics since Tim Bond′s seminal Standards and Ethics for Counselling in Action (2010). ?While this volume does not replace Bond′s, it does complement it, as it is an entirely different kind of book [...] This should be essential reading for all counselling and psychotherapy courses, on an almost equal footing with Bond′s work. Not replacing it, but as the new ′next best thing′, a book that counselling has lacked up to now. I can give it no higher praise than that.
