Ethical Legal and Professional Issues in Counseling Merrill Counseling 7th Edition Our original goal was simple but ambitious. We wanted to create a practical and comprehensive resource on ethics, law, and professional issues in counseling. The book aims to equip graduate students with essential knowledge. At the same time, it offers practicing counselors clear and usable guidance.

Over the years, both faculty and students have shared valuable feedback. Many describe the text as thorough and accessible. Others highlight its strong use of real-world examples. These examples help clarify complex ethical and legal topics.

We hope you will find this edition just as engaging. More importantly, we hope it proves useful in both academic study and professional practice.
