`Jenkins' book makes the law relevant, understandable and
manageable to counsellors and psychotherapists. It makes clear,
reassuring and essential reading for therapists in training as well
as those in practice. [All] counsellors and psychotherapisys need
to be up to speed with the law and with how it relates to their
work. This book is more than timely with the impending introduction
of regulation, and the fact that increasingly the work of
counsellors and psychotherapists is being subjected to legal
scrutiny' - Healthcare Counselling and Psychotherapy Journal
Counselling, Psychotherapy and the Law is the long-awaited Second
Edition of Peter Jenkins' comprehensive introduction to legal
issues in relation to counselling and psychotherapy in the UK. This
text has been fully updated to include coverage of the key
developments in the law that have had major impact on therapists'
practice with regard to data protection and the management of
confidentiality. The book breaks new ground by exploring in detail
the relationship of ethics to the law and providing a framework for
relating the BACP Ethical Framework to legal decision-making. Key
features of this new edition include: " extensive use of case
studies. These bring legal examples to life and give a human
dimension to powerful ethical dilemmas such as seeking agreement to
end medical treatment, or client's gaining access to their own
confidential records " key points, which provide quick summaries of
complex material and reference guides for professional practice "
the multiple points of crossover and intersection of law and
therapy. These are identified and explored, ranging from the use of
narrative theory, to the provision of pre-trial therapy for abused
children, to the role of the therapist as expert witness. This new
edition provides clarity and reassurance for practitioners at all
levels about the exact nature of their responsibilities, and how
these can best be managed, in order to enable them to comply with
the law and focus on their therapeutic work with clients.
Counselling, Psychotherapy and the Law, Second Edition provides an
essential source of reference in a single volume, making a
fascinating and complex topic understandable and bringing it to
life. Peter Jenkins, formerly a member of the BACP Professional
Conduct Committee and currently a member of the Ethics Committee of
the UKCP, has been described by Counselling at Work as 'probably
the foremost authority on legal issues in counselling'. He is
Co-Director of the Counselling and Psychotherapy Directorate at the
University of Salford. More reviews: `Despite requiring real
concentration, this is an essential read for counsellors and
psychotherapists irrespective of background and theoretical
orientation. Trainers, supervisors and agency coordinators
especially would benefit from the up to date material contained
here' - Therapy Today `Peter Jenkins has consulted widely over the
content of this book, both within the psychological therapies field
and with legal eagles. [His] use of clear flow diagrams and
comparison boxes enable the reader to identify the similarities and
differences between professional and moral/ethical debates. It is a
thoroughly researched and accessible text' - Association for
University and College Counselling Journal `a comprehensive
overview of a rapidly evolving field. This book represents a
helpful addition to practitioners' bookshelves as a reference work,
but also a beneficial read to stimulate thoughtful responses to
practical dilemmas. It provides a good support to both therapeutic
and supervision practices across the spectrum of experience and
theoretical models' - The Psychotherapist
