"The Counselor and the Law delivers yet again! As expectations around the use of technology in counseling rapidly shift, the authors clearly address opportunities and challenges and suggest practical recommendations for handling ethical and legal issues related to communication in the information technology era. As an educator and practicing counselor, I consider this book a must read for anyone in our profession."--Chinwé Uwah Williams, PhD, Argosy University-Atlanta "The key strength of this book is how the authors encourage the reader to think more deeply about the issues and to use the suggestions given to better understand ethical and legal dilemmas.
