ETHICS IN PSYCHOTHERAPY

Hi dear colleague,

My name is Grigoris Vassiliades. I am a Licensed Counselling Psychologist, working as an independent practitioner and co-ordinator of a research program related to the vocational training of young offenders in Greece.

I've currently commenced my Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology Dept. of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece. The topic of my research dissertation is the Ethics in Psychotherapy Practice. Specifically, I'm interested in selecting information on issues related to ethical decision making, beliefs and behaviours of mental health professionals (i.e. psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, e.t.c.) on the ethicality of therapeutic behaviours (i.e. sexual, social, financial and other types of relationships between therapists and clients), and generally pieces of information relevant to ETHICAL ISSUES in psychotherapy.

I would appreciate if you could suggest me possible sources of such information/documentation(e.g. Internet sites, CD-ROMS, centres, articles, books, e.t.c.),as well as possible research directions.
