Ethics in School Counseling (Professional Ethics in Education) - Softcover

This volume provides a set of principles that help guide school counsellors through the ethical crises they face. Case histories are analysed to illustrate the many kinds of problems that may arise in the relationship among counsellors, students, parents and teachers.

Ethics in School Counseling goes beyond "cookbook" approaches offered in many other texts, and examines key philosophical concepts. The authors provide a set of principles that help guide school counselors through the ethical crisis they face. Case histories are analyzed to illustrate the many kinds of problems that may arise in the relationships among counselors, students, parents, and teachers. Larger issues of ethical reasoning and principles are related and developed, and examples of typical dilemmas faced by school counselors are examined. One chapter critiques the professional ethics codes featured in the appendices: the standards of the American Counseling Association and the American School Counselor Association.
