Description
Creative Ethical Practice in Counselling & Psychotherapy offers a safety net for trainees and therapists navigating the challenges of today's 'complaints culture'. The authors provide practical guidance on establishing a therapeutic relationship, negotiating boundaries, and managing defensive practice.
With a focus on humanistic values, this book explores the necessary structures and processes for creative, ethical practice. It includes reflective exercises, summaries, case examples, and step-by-step guidance to help readers prepare for worst-case scenarios like complaints procedures and legal action.
Essential reading for legal and ethical modules on counselling courses, this book is written by experienced humanistic and integrative therapists who are members of the UK Association of Humanistic Psychology Practitioners and the United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy.
