Description

Ethical Practice in the Human Services: From Knowing to Being helps readers move beyond learning ethical codes to integrating ethical values into their professional identity and daily practice. Drawing on standards from six professional associations across counseling, social work, psychology, and marriage and family therapy, the text focuses on closing the gap between knowing ethics and being ethical.

This updated Second Edition addresses contemporary challenges shaping human services practice, including cultural diversity and humility, equity and inclusion, self-care, and emerging ethical issues related to artificial intelligence and digital practice. Case illustrations, guided exercises, and cooperative learning activities encourage readers to examine their own values and apply ethical principles to real-world professional situations.
