Christian Counseling Ethics: A Handbook for Psychologists, Therapists and Pastors (Christian Association for Psychological Studies Books)
"For the clients who see us in counseling . . . theological purity will make little difference if we do not practice with ethical integrity." Randolph K. Sanders, from chapter one The work of psychotherapy and counseling is full of ethical challenges and dilemmas. Responding to these situations with wisdom is critical, not only for the professional?s credibility, but also for good therapeutic relationships and positive treatment outcomes. Since its first publication, Christian Counseling Ethics has become a standard reference work for Christian psychologists, counselors and pastors and a key text at Christian universities and seminaries. This thoroughly revised edition retains core material on counseling ethics that has made it so valuable in a variety of settings. Now fully updated, it weighs and assesses new and emerging ethical issues in the field. For example, the current volume explores ethical issues involved in:
multiple relationships
confidentiality
documentation
therapist competence and character
addressing spiritual and value issues in therapy
teletherapy
individual and couples therapy
counseling with minors
psychological first aid after disasters
counseling crossculturally
In addition, the book considers dilemmas Christian therapists face in specific settings such as:
church-based counseling centers
government and military institutions
missions organizations
college counseling centers

Brad Johnson, Alan Tjeltveit, Everett Worthington, Sally Schwer Canning, Siang-Yang Tan, Tamara Anderson, Stanton Jones, Jennifer Ripley, Angela Sabates, Mark Yarhouse, Richard Butman and Cynthia Eriksson.
