  - Addresses essential issues. For a fascinating, illuminating, remarkably candid book by a brilliant psychiatristwhose ethical standards are manifest, I recommend That's How the Light Gets In: Memoir of a Psychiatrist by Susan Rako, M.D. The title comes from a song by Leonard Cohen: "There is a crack, a crack in everything. That's how the light gets in." Rako's book is insightful and wonderfully well-written. The writing just flows. Rating:  - Issues and EthicsThis text is a required reading for my work in a Masters in Mental Health Counseling. Very well written, great information and lots of thoughts on many ethical issues. If this book doesn't make you question yourself, I am not sure anything else will. I will keep this text. Rating: - Issues and Ethics in the Helping ProfessionsI was very pleased when I received this book. My daughter is an undergraduate at Bowie University and she has been trying to find this book. The price was very reasonable and I received it in a few days. I will continue exploring Amazon for books that she needs during her studies because of the price and how fast the books are delivered. Rating: - Great for new studentsI enjoy reading this book for my masters class. It is written for easy reading but is not dumbed down. Very thought provoking. Rating:  - Good but wordy & ultimately unsatisfyingI had to purchase a copy of this book for an introductory masters course in ethics for counselors. I really like the book a lot, except that the chapters are incredibly long (often running 50+ pages apiece) for topics that do not require more than 20. What the author has done is ask contributing writers to add text and case studies that are often repetitive and unnecessary to the discussion. That strikes one star from a possible five. The second strike is the ambiguity of the subject itself, which provides no concrete answers. This is inherit in ethics itself, but there needs to be solid answers for masters students who must, ultimately, take the licensure test to practice in their respective state. Without solid answers, I have no idea how to face the multiple choice final quiz (worth 50% of my grade) in my class. I am worried that this book is too queasy and uncommitted to my success to provide real-world answers to questions on these licensure tests that I HAVE to know! If I flunk this class (and anything below 80% is flunking at the masters level) it will be this book's fault. I am actually doing everything I possibly can to supplement my reading outside of this book to ensure I know enough practical, real-world answers to ethical questions so that I will get thru this weed out course in counseling. Ugh. Thanks for nothing, Corey & Corey. If I pass the course, I will come back and upgrade this review to three stars instead of two. Right now, I am too upset with your equivocations and ultimately unsatisfying answers to give you credit for something that I think you, ultimately, failed to do. That is: help a poor student pass the course. |
