I did not love this course. It is always difficult to find new and interesting ethics courses to take year, after year, after year. The numerous references to "celebrities" and other questionable public figures was off putting. Maybe at the time of publication these people were looked up to, but as of current times, most are now disgraced and not respected. Why would I be interested in their ethics?

I didn't like that the courses expire after a year and I had to pay to extend it. Since continuing education is required every two years, it would make more sense for them to expire 2 years after purchase. It was only $15 but that is beside the point. It feels like a money grab. But now that I know that, I will wait to extend my other expired one until I'm ready to take the test. As far as the actual course was concerned, the book contained lots of excellent information that I actually believe will bring value to myself and my practice, unlike many ethics courses.

This book reminds me of another I am currently reading; The Body Keeps The Score. I would highly recommend that book for a course on handling clients who are healing from trauma.
