"A four-man, one-woman team from several institutions in Switzerland and Texas undertook an ambitious task in editing this mammoth volume, addressing the "scope, complexity, and various forms of psychotherapy" (p. 4). Each of the 68 chapters could introduce an individual book ... This encyclopedic volume is likely best used as a reference for focused inquiry." -- R. H. Balsam, CHOICE

"Although psychotherapy is probably the most commonly used modality of mental health treatment, the ethics of psychotherapeutic practice and research have not been given the attention they deserve. This handbook magnificently remedies that neglect, assembling an international cast of authors for penetrating explorations of the many ethical complexities of our psychological interventions with patients. It deserves a place within easy reach on every therapist's bookshelf" -- Paul Appelbaum, Dollard Professor of Psychiatry, Medicine & Law, Columbia University

"In an era where the ethics of psychotherapy has become of great importance to both practitioners and patients, we are fortunate to have a superb new textbook that will be of great assistance to skilled psychotherapists, beginners in the field, ethicists, and scholars. The Oxford Handbook of Psychotherapy Ethics is comprehensive and authoritative. It will immediately become the standard in the field. I highly recommend it to all professionals who care about the future of psychotherapy as an ethical practice" -- Glen O. Gabbard, MD, Clinical Professor of Psychiatry, Baylor College of Medicine

"Herein, is a work that brings serious normative attention to an increasingly important component of contemporary health care—psychotherapy. From its earliest to current forms, psychotherapy is inextricably value-perfused in its attention to autonomy and the self in society and is therefore a profoundly moral endeavor. In this comprehensive volume, expert authors explore a wide variety of ethical considerations for psychotherapists, clients, and society. I highly recommend it" -- Christine Mitchell, Executive Director, Center for Bioethics, Harvard Medical School

"If health service is to retain the essence of healing practices, with a respect for the patient, health care ethics must be central to all aspects of health systems. Accordingly, the psychotherapy field desperately needs a comprehensive volume dedicated to psychotherapy ethics and The Oxford Handbook of Psychotherapy Ethics provides what is needed: A comprehensive coverage of the topic. It is a primary resource for everyone in the psychotherapy field: clinicians, educators, trainees, researchers, policy makers, and managers of mental health care." -- Bruce Wampold, Emeritus Professor of Counseling Psychology, University of Wisconsin-Madison
