Opis

This text draws upon philosophy's understanding of ethics and psychological literature to focus on the role of the therapist as ethicist and how the ethical convictions of both therapists and client contribute to the practical process of therapy. The author considers the intellectual and social context in which therapy takes place, the means and ends of therapy, and role of therapy in society.
