{"product_id":"red-flags-in-psychotherapy-9780415833394","title":"Red Flags in Psychotherapy","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book delves into risks that can easily bedevil any psychotherapist and what can happen if they are ignored. Dramatic storytelling  based on actual incidents from the authors experiences as a member of ethics committees and as an ethics teacher and consultant  explores actions prompting clients to issue formal complaints. Set in the context of an ethics committee meeting over the course of a weekend  twelve psychologists face their peers who will stand in judgment. Issues include the fallout from losing ones temper with a difficult client  a personal disclosure gone terribly wrong  a bartering arrangement that literally falls apart  a private life revealed in a most public way  a vengeful act that sullies the reputation of an entire department  breaking confidentiality when a client threatened harm  and the slippery slope to sexual exploitation. The stories are absorbing  enlightening  sometimes shocking  and often stranger than fiction. Narrative nonfiction puts human faces and emotions on what would otherwise be cursory statistics. What led to the formal complaint from both the vantage point of the complainant and the psychologist offers insights not otherwise available unless the dynamics of their private lives leading up to the conflict are revealed. An authors commentary and discussion questions follow every story. Both new and seasoned practitioners  as well as those still in training  will find this to be an invaluable resource.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45665880342581,"sku":"ByrdShop_0415833396","price":67.38,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780415833394.jpg?v=1782412190","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/red-flags-in-psychotherapy-9780415833394","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
