Description
Linda Finlay explores the complexities of ethical therapeutic practice in this comprehensive guide. By examining how professional codes are applied within therapy and considering the social and relational context, she provides guidance on engaging in therapy relationally while remaining professional, ethical, and evidence-based. The book is divided into three parts, each addressing a key aspect of relational ethics: its foundational ideas, the complex judgements demanded by the therapeutic process, and its application in real-world practice. Five extended case studies demonstrate relational ethics in action, highlighting the issues that arise when therapy is situation-specific. Through this detailed analysis, Finlay offers a nuanced understanding of how to navigate the intricacies of ethical practice in counselling and psychotherapy.
