Trade ReviewEthical Decision-Making in School Mental Health is a great book for anyone teaching an ethics course or for those making decisions for individuals with less standing/status. * Mary Ann Thrush, International Journal of Social Work Values and Ethics *
Ethical Decision-Making in School Mental Health has multiple strong elements; however, perhaps the most important is the way the authors deconstruct ethical decision-making. The book is a thorough discussion of the factors that go into ethical decision-making and the fiduciary responsibility of school mental health practitioners. This book is not limited to school practitioners but can serve as a good foundation for anyone who makes decisions regarding individuals with less standing, such as persons served by our criminal justice system, persons hospitalized, and elders, to name a few. Finally, in addition to making ethical decisions for others, Ethical Decision-Making in School Mental Health serves as a guide for making personal decisions concerning ethical dilemmas. * MaryAnn Thrush, PhD, MSW, International Journal of Social Work Values and Ethics *
