Summary: | Going beyond the basics of ethics, this book guides readers through complex ethical quandaries. It describes an easily applied decision-making process based on positive ethics and bolstered by numerous case examples that will help psychotherapists reach the best solutions possible. <br> <br> <br> <br> New and experienced psychotherapists alike can find themselves overwhelmed by an ethical quandary where there doesn't seem to be an easy solution. This book presents positive ethics as a means to overcome such ethical challenges. The positive approach focuses on not just avoiding negative consequences, but reaching the best possible outcomes for both the psychotherapist and the client.<br> <br> <br> <br> The authors outline a clear decision-making process that is based on three practical strategies: <br> <br> <br> <br> * ethical decision-making models to make the most ethical decision in a situation where two ethical principles conflict,<br> <br> * the quality enhancement model for reducing the risk of treatment failure, and<br> <br> * ethics acculturation model to help therapists incorporate personal ethics into their professional roles.<br> <br> <br> <br> Numerous vignettes illustrate how to apply positive ethics to many different ethical challenges that psychotherapists will likely encounter in practice. |
