This book develops a comprehensive framework for ethics in the helping professions based on bioethicist Bernard Gert's theory of common morality. The prevailing model of ethics education is built upon adherence to codes of ethics applied largely through the use of decision-making trees. While a firm understanding of a professions code of ethics and all relevant laws is essential to responsible practice, this approach to teaching ethics excludes the opportunity for students to acquire a holistic, and grounded understanding of moral action. The framework proposed in this text moves beyond codes of ethics, and allows students to develop a cohesive sense of ethical reasoning that both validates their moral intuition and challenges moral assumptions. The theory of a common morality uses a systematic, step-by-step approach that readers and practitioners can apply to all questions of moral action and behavior. While there is no such thing as a single right answer to any ethical question, by following this approach practitioners can confidently eliminate the bad decisions, allowing them to feel more secure in their decision and practice.

Product Description 
The Helping Professional's Guide to Ethics, Second Edition develops a comprehensive framework for ethics based on Bernard Gert's theory of common morality. Moving beyond codes of ethics, Bryan, Sanders, and Kaplan encourage students to develop a cohesive sense of ethical reasoning that both 
validates their moral intuition and challenges moral assumptions. Part I of the text introduces basic moral theory, provides an overview to moral development, and introduces the common morality framework. Part II focuses on common ethical issues faced by helping professionals such as: 
confidentiality, competency, paternalism, informed consent, and dual relationships. Each chapter provides an overview of each concept and their ethical relevance for practice. Throughout the text, students put their critical thinking skills into practice to promote deep learning. Real-life cases 
bridge the gap between theory and practice, and discussion questions reinforce the concepts introduced in each chapter.\nReview 
"The second edition of The Helping Professional's Guide to Ethics is even better than the first. I applaud the authors' keen critique of a values approach to ethical reasoning, which is predominate in social work. This sets the stage for the crystal-clear presentation of the common morality 
framework, which is the center of this important book. Case examples are rich and interesting, and they add to the utility and humanity of the common morality method. This is an important book for the helping professions." -- Kay Seeley Hoffman, University of Kentucky\n"All helping professionals have faced an ethical dilemma in their practice. As we contemplate our options, we draw upon our professional education; we search the internet for guidance; we talk to our colleagues and supervisors. What we really need to do is read The Helping Professionals Guide to 
Ethics. In the present day, when the ethics and morality of modern life are more relevant than ever, the second edition of this text is right on time. From the theoretical to the practical, this book covers what you need to know, and more." -- Kathryn Krase, Yeshiva University\n"A perfect marriage between contemporary social work ethical practice and the classic philosophy of Bernard Gert. This textbook introduces a fresh perspective on Gert's common morality framework to guide practitioners on the complexities of ethical decision making." -- Alicia McLaughlin, University 
of St. Francis\n"Bryan, Sanders, and Kaplan have been refining the practical approach they offer here for decades -- a very clear and current application of Bernard Gert's common morality framework for our field with realistic case examples to guide students and practitioners through the challenges of our time." --

The underlying argument of this groundbreaking study is this: Sexual orientation and gender identity influence how sexual assault is experienced, how it is perceived, and ultimately, how victims (and perpetrators) are treated by the criminal justice system. Focusing much of their work on the queer community―a community with a disproportionately high risk of sexual assault―the authors introduce the Identity Inclusive Sexual Assault Myth Scale (IISAMS) to explore the unique aspects of sexual assault and the process of disclosure as experienced by queer victims. They also incorporate participant recommendations, collected during interviews, as they foreground ways for more effectively preventing and responding to sexual violence throughout contemporary society.
