Using the Law: Practical Decision Making in Mental Health de Andrew B. Israel

Using the Law: Practical Decision Making in Mental Health

Autor Andrew B. Israel
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 22 ian 2026
Every day mental health professionals are faced with making practice decisions involving cultural, ethical, moral, regional, personal, and legal considerations. Using the Law shows readers how to resolve practice problems efficiently through a structured application of legal principles. Writing for various mental health professionals that face such complex decisions, Andrew B. Israel pulls from the codes of ethics of the American Psychological Association, the National Association of Social Workers, and the National Board of Certified Counselors. He presents a unified perspective that stresses the integration of the fundamental legal, ethical, cultural and pragmatic factors influencing practice. Written in a clear and direct style, this thoroughly revised and updated second edition includes a new chapter on reading judicial cases for mental health professionals and expands the treatment of the codes of ethics governing social workers, psychologists, and counselors.

Recenzii

Using the Law moves us one step closer to resolving practice dilemmas with much greater confidence. This book establishes the need for a usable application of laws for human service practice and provides a critical context beyond the human service profession's call for evidence-based practice. It correctly points out the lack of uniformity in managing professional dilemmas across the wide array of human service professions. The legal discourse reflects flexible and adaptive qualities that will benefit any professional human service practitioner or students pursuing a career in human services. It is well written, easy to read, and well organized." - Robert Ortega, University of Michigan
