Issues and Ethics in the Helping Professions

Issues and Ethics in the Helping Professions, 11th Edition, provides students in helping professions and active counseling professionals with a comprehensive framework for ethical decision-making in counseling. Authored by Gerald Corey, Marianne Corey, and Cindy Corey, this textbook teaches practical procedures to resolve basic ethical issues encountered across counseling careers.

The core narrative explores diverse theoretical positions in helping professions and their application to complex practitioner challenges. Readers examine how theoretical conceptualizations intersect with clinical judgment, learning to evaluate professional responsibilities and maintain standards of client care.

In this 11th Edition, the authors introduce a feature titled Voices From the Field, which highlights positions shared by about 40 counseling leaders. These practical contributions provide varied practitioner viewpoints, supporting both coursework preparation and ongoing professional practice.
