From the Foreword "In Ethical Issues in Sport, Exercise, and Performance Psychology, Edward F. Etzel and Jack C. Watson II have collected a fascinating set of ethical analyses and guidelines accompanied by rich examples to illustrate the challenges of practicing ethically in sport psychology. The outstanding contributors present fleshed-out ethical challenges and dilemmas in exquisite detail across a range of populations, settings, and modes of service delivery. They have truly done a service to sport psychologists, students, and coaches, and their work will open wide the eyes of many who had never fully considered these issues." Gerald P.
