The importance of ethical standards in the treatment of marriage and families

The main aim of the work is to explain the importance of applying ethical principles and standards in the therapy of marriage and family. The authors'' aim is not only to show the relationship between ethics and marriage and family therapy but also to indicate individual ethical principles and norms of conduct and to show their impact and importance on the process of therapeutic impact [...]. The author notes that all ethical dilemmas in marriage and family therapy should be considered from three perspectives: ethical substantive and legal based on the main principle of patient''s well-being. Such an approach is fully consistent with the therapeutic approach.(from a review by Dr. Sławomir Pawiński)
