Houser, University of Alabama at Birmingham • Stephen Thoma, The University of Alabama Ethics in Counseling and Therapy develops ethical competence through an understanding of theory. Using a multidisciplinary theoretical framework that draws on theories from disciplines such as philosophy, sociology, and moral psychology, Houser and Thoma help readers to develop their own ethical identity and judgment, and to reflect on personal values.
