"This text is comprehensive with thorough coverage of critical
material for ethical and professional development. What
differentiates this book from other texts is that Welfel presents
the information in an accessible, practical, easy to digest style
that readily engages students. The case examples are plentiful and
thought provoking as well. All of these characteristics, along with
the coverage of both ACA and APA codes of ethics, make this text
the gold standard for courses in ethics."
"Welfel's text covers everything about counseling ethics that I
could possibly ask it to cover. I highly recommend it."
