Summary "Practicing ethically requires ongoing effort and commitment. Standards of practice, ethics codes, and laws relevant to mental health practice are evolving rapidly. Reading professional literature, participating in continuing education, and engaging in meaningful interactions with colleagues all are necessary to stay abreast of changes. Further, our objectivity and effectiveness are vulnerable to personal stressors and clinical challenges introduced by clients. When compromised, they are only as good as the safety net we construct around ourselves in our work. Supervision and consultation are cornerstones of this safety net. The genesis of this book, then, is complex and multifaceted, but its roots are in the humbling failures and gratifying successes that form the foundation of the author's work. It is the author's hope that prospective and current supervisors and consultants reading the book will learn to recognize the myriad ethical challenges and pitfalls inherent in this work, prevent or avoid them where possible, acknowledge mistakes when they occur, and make repairs when necessary. Some of the topics discussed in this book include: (1) ethical practice standards; (2) psychotherapy-based models of supervision; (2) developmental models of supervision; (3) boundaries of multiple relationships; (4) informed consent; (5) consultation and supervision groups; (6) mandated supervision; and (7) documentation of supervision and consultation."
