Navigating Relational Ethics in Day-to-Day Practice: Working Ethically in the Counselling Professions
About this ebook
Lynne Gabriel and Andrew Reeves provide a compelling explanatory narrative on the importance of translating ethical concepts into meaningful pragmatic practice and practitioner tools. They set out key theories, concepts, and contemporary challenges in practice ethics, offering multiple lenses through which to make meaning of complex practice or risk scenarios and settings. Importantly, the book considers contemporary concepts associated with social justice including working in anti-oppressive ways. The chapters feature an array of engaging material, including a round table dialogue on working ethically in day-to-day practice, a ‘toolkit’ for working ethically across multiple contexts and presenting issues, and a rich collection of case examples from the authors’ lived experience.
This text supports trainees and practitioners in taking ethical frameworks into their direct work with clients and in their wider role in practice.
