ABSTRACT
This chapter is based on research undertaken among a range of trainee therapists, psychologists and counsellors. It discusses the issues trainees recorded as important to their own professional and ethical practice and development. The chapter does not attempt to be definitive or comprehensive, to include all aspects of professional and ethical practice or to dictate which areas are most important. It merely focuses attention on those dilemmas which were considered important to this particular sample group. Seventy-two trainees participated in the research from a range of training institutions and courses. The nature of the chapter means that each issue is dealt with concisely, and the interested reader may wish to engage in further reading or reflection on the issues raised.
