ABSTRACT
The last few years have seen changes to the ways in which the subject of ethics and related codes are approached, thus creating the opportunity for more creativity, challenge and liveliness in the ®eld of ethical re¯ection and decision making. The British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and the British Psychological Society (BPS), in particular, have made signi®cant contributions to the development of ethical frameworks, inviting us into more local, personal and social re¯ections on ways forward in our lives and our work. Both of these organizations have evolved a set of principles to guide practice and research activities and emphasize the importance of practitioners engaging in the re¯ective process themselves in relation to ethical challenges encountered.
