VALUES AS CONTEXT FOR THERAPY

This best-selling text examines the cultural, ethical, legal, and professional issues of marriage and family therapy using values as a beginning point for practice decisions. Organized in a four-part format, the book includes current cultural issues; examines ethical codes, problems, and domains; offers perspective on the latest legislation; and discusses issues of professional identity. Three chapters devoted to case studies add context and illustrate the complexities inherent in marriage and family therapy. One of these "casebook" chapters addresses ethical issues (Chapter 7), one deals with legal issues (Chapter 10) and one looks at professional issues (Chapter 12).

In this fourth edition learn more about:

• The personal, professional, and institutional layers of values impacting marriage and family therapists
• Culturally responsive marriage and family therapy
• The impact and use of technology in marriage and family therapy
• The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and its influence on marriag eand family therapy practice

"...offers the best coverage (regarding) MFT practices as well as an excellent introduction to administrative law." --Peter Sherrard, University of Florida
