"No book comes close to the excellence and wide coverage of important and contemporary critical ethical issues in the practice of counseling and psychotherapy. It is an indispensable resource for mental health professionals and students and should be required reading in all psychology graduate training programs. The 7th edition of Ethics in Psychotherapy and Counseling continues to be the “gold standard” as it leads in reflecting major revolutionary changes in our society: use of artificial intelligence in the assessment, diagnosis and treatment of mental disorders, rise of teletherapy, and the political climate that has dismantled hard-won anti-discrimination laws and policies."
— Derald Wing Sue, PhD, Professor of Psychology and Education, Teachers College, Columbia University

 "Pope, Vasquez, Chavez-Dueñas, and Adames’ new ethics book tackles the cognitive distortions and biases that lead even well-intentioned clinicians astray. Rather than simply listing ethical codes, the authors provide practical decision-making frameworks tested against real-world dilemmas, from navigating dual relationships to responding ethically when AI tools enter our everyday life. The text examines pressing issues such as social media boundary breaches, complexities of teletherapy, safeguarding personal data in the digital age, and algorithmic bias in mental health technology. For both students learning to think ethically and seasoned practitioners facing unprecedented scenarios, this new edition offers an invaluable blueprint for ethical practice in the modern world."

"As someone who consults with organizations striving to deliver equitable, ethical care, I know firsthand how today's practitioners are grappling with challenges that didn't exist a decade ago.
