Ethics in Counseling and Therapy develops students' ethical competence through an understanding of theory. Houser and Thoma helps the counselor form his or her own ethical identity and reflect on his or her own values and issues by presenting a theoretical framework that draws on theories from disciplines such as philosophy, sociology, and moral psychology.

Addressing issues of social class, race and ethnicity, and more, this book reflects the shift in recent years towards social justice counseling for all mental health professionals.

This book examines the therapeutic use of self in counselling and psychotherapy practice. It considers the intertwining of the therapist's professional and personal self - their ways of doing and being with their clients.

This is the only comprehensive yet accessible introduction to the history, theory, research and practice of solution-focused therapy (SFT) within mental health care and beyond. This new edition draws on contemporary research, recent developments in SFT training and the integration of SFT with other approaches.
