Review
This is an interesting and insightful book which presents an innovative and refreshing look at the uncertainties and dilemmas of working ethically, but also give a suggestion for a framework for "ethical maturity" within ethical decision-making... This is a clear strength of this text, as is the straightforward explanatory style of writing used. Readers are both encouraged and advised en how to achieve ethical maturity in their work whilst simultaneously being challenged to think critically about their behaviour and attitudes... Rich in ideas, innovative and engaging, this book is a useful addition both to the discussion of how best to work ethically and also to the practice of doing so. -- Kathryn Kinmond, Department of Interdisciplinary Studies, Manchester Metropolitan University * Psychology Learning and Teaching * This book is a thought provoking and engaging presentation of a unique and exciting area of applied professional ethics. The authors' non-authoritarian tone and accessible language make for an illuminating journey into the area of ethical maturity. Carroll and Shaw confront the reader and one cannot help but engage in the material in the form of self-assessment and reflection. Most importantly, they manage to inspire readers to reach new heights in their own personal, emotional and ethical development. -- Harry Greenwood, St James Ethics Centre, Sydney, Australia The authors bring a refreshing approach to this complex and challenging area of enquiry. Each chapter provides a wealth of carefully selected theory and helpful case examples to assist the reader to explore and understand the basis of their own and other's ethical positions and actions. The book is of interest to all those who aspire to making the world a 'better' place for all of its citizens and I would recommend it to all students training to work in the helping professions. -- Sheila Furness, Senior Lecturer in Social Work, University of Bradford, UK I love this book.

I have made it required reading for our students. -- Professor David Lane, Middlesex University, UK, and Director of the Professional Development Foundation Ethical Maturity in the Helping Professions is an interesting and accessible read which is ideal for counselling, coaching, and psychotherapy students and graduates alike. I know that supervisors will ask me about getting copies of the book. -- Professor Maria Gilbert, Joint Head of Integrative Department, Metanoia Institute, London This book radiates originality and brings a creative and free spirited attitude to a topic that is often dragged down with universal protocols of compliance and a focus on rule following... This book is a thought provoking and engaging presentation of a unique and exciting area of applied professional ethics. The authors' non-authoritarian tone and accessible language make for an illuminating journey into the area of ethical maturity... Most importantly, they manage to inspire readers to reach new heights in their own personal, emotional and ethical development. -- Colloquium GO AND BUY THIS BOOK: you need to read it. And then read it again... we are treated to a wonderfully engaging insight into the work of Socrates and Aristotle, with the former attempting to define the constituents of the 'good, (ethically mature), life' and the latter being concerned with moral character... a wonderfully researched and authoritively written account of a range of ways in which poor/dangerous practice can be made much more, or less, likely to occur... They also raise fascinating issues concerning how to learn to be more ethically sensitive, (Chapter 8), and what/how training courses might best teach on the topic (Chapter 17)... this book is an absolute treasure trove of knowledge and full of prompts for reflecting on and stretching ones practice... I whole heartedly applaud Carroll and Shaw for framing this hugely important conversation and outlining a process for engaging in it. -- The Coaching Psychologist; Dr Sally Denham-Vaughan, Co-Founder/Director at Relational Change
