Jetmore Hits it on the Head.
I couldn't put this one down.I've been looking for something that addresses the things I've been trying to deal with on the job, and this book nailed it! One of the best
I've read several books on the subject of police ethics.Jetmore's is byfar the best.A wonderful combination of research and actual stories fromthe streets, this books captured my interst from te very beginning.Veryinsightful.

How do you determine the "right" thing to do?
Dr. Jetmore, a law enforcement veteran of 21 years, challenges students and veterans alike to awaken their souls and become "warriors." Using "war stories" and the "ancient philosophy and code ofhonor used by King Arthur's Knights of the Round Table," Dr. Jetmoreprovides a concise yet encompassing work of challenges.Read more

every therapist needs this book
The primary author is well known as an instructor of "Family Law" for graduate students of psychology, social work, marriage & family therapy, etc. at several north Texas universities.His courses arealways well-received.A previous reviewer commented that a mental healthprofessional would have been helpful.I doubt that would make a differencesince so many professionals from various clinical disciplines use theseauthors as resources.This book is a great adjunct to remind yourself whatyou need to do as a professional to protect yourself & your clients. While you do not offer legal advice if you are not an attorney, being awareof these issues makes a counselor more likely to recommend that a clientsee an attorney for advice.Also, re-reading this book on a regular basisreminds us of what we need to continue to do to protect our professionallicenses.Often when we are in private practice, just as in other areas oflife, we sometimes get lax or forget to attend to all the details necessaryto protect us as professionals & our clients.This book is a must foryour professional library.

Going into practice? Here's what you must know first.
I stumbled across this book while preparing a project as part of my undergrad Psychology studies at the University of Utah. What a lucky find this is! *** Many statements exist in the world of mental health practice regarding what standards of professionalism, ethicality, conduct, andconfidentiality a psychologist should adhere to. Many of them, I'vediscovered so far, are abstract: they state the standard but give little,if any, illustration on how a practicing therapist applies all that tohis/her job and life. This book is the first I've uncovered that gives theclear and understandable picture that I need as an aspiring psychologist.*** I think I understand well enough the general principle that motivatedthe authors to write this book: all too often, each of us has gotten burnedin the past because of some rule, some technicality, some law that wouldhave worked in our favor had we acted with a knowledge of it. For example,I know someone who wouldn't have paid a single cent of his medical billscaused by an on-the-job accident had he simply reported his injury within48 hours instead of waiting a week. Things like that. I'm always makingsure I do things like keep receipts, review credit card statements, andwatch what creeps into my college transcripts, because it's the littlethings that can screw our lives up so badly. All the more so fortherapists, the authors believe, because of their heavy responsibility tosafeguard their clients' welfare, and because unfortunately their trainingdoesn't seem to prepare them for some types of potential legal trouble. ***As part of that approach, this book takes an interesting departure fromother literature on mental health ethics. Despite what the title says, thecontents seem to focus not so much on protecting the client--although thatprinciple is by no means diminished--as it does on protecting thetherapist. That may seem selfish, but hey, you've got to learn this stuffsomehow! *** The authors do an excellent job of explaining a diversity ofissues in understandable ways. They use well-constructed scenarios thatmake you ask yourself, "what would I do if faced with thisdilemma?" Then they systematically explain what the options are, andwhat to avoid along the way. They show you several sample documents alongthe way that demonstrate how to remove any legal doubts from your practice.The objective is to prevent things from going wrong, but they also discusswhen things get ugly, such as a client who commits suicide and therelatives sue you, the therapist, for malpractice. Or when to breachconfidentiality and activate your "duty to warn" if a clientthreatens violence against someone else--or yourself. *** I noted that theauthors were both lawyers, and that only one was licensed as a mastersocial worker. I wish, despite their impressive knowledge and experience,that a psychologist might have collaborated with them on this work. Iwonder what sort of change in perspective it would have brought to havesomeone involved in this writing who was solely a practioner of mentalhealth, and not of law. *** Nevertheless, if you have a vested interest inpsychology, I think this is essential reading. If you are a practicingpsychologist, and you do not completely know these practical issues, youmay be an unwitting candidate for some serious trouble. If you are, likeme, someone who hopes one day to become a psychologist, this is anexcellent way to introduce and orient yourself to some very pertinentinformation--and get a firm and realistic picture of what it's really goingto be like for you. Best you pay attention. ... Read more

Dont buy from amazon
Attn all students! Amazon promises to send books by a specific date then changes the dates without your consent. Trying to get a refund is a nightmare. Be prepared to get stuck without the book and still get the bill. Customer service is outsourced to India and is no help even if you could understand them. 4 wks and counting and still no promised refund. This not the only time this has happened.The issue is not with the seller it is Amazon.

Excellent Book
I had this for my business law class and it was excellent! It is easy to read, the cases are interesting and the format is one of the best for a textbook!
