Finding Right Relationship with Clients
Hanford Mead Publishers | Amazon Print | Kindle
Winner of the Silver Medal book award from Nautilus Book Awards in the category “Relationships and Communication.”
Ethical issues pertain to longings, feelings, and motivations which resonate at our very core. Our drives toward (and away from) money, sexuality, power, love, truth, inspiration, and oneness are the most powerful forces in our lives. How can we expect that these drives will not arise in one way or another in our relationships with clients? When we engage in self-discovery to know better our own motivations, we reduce client harm and increase client benefit.
This book was written for all helping professionals — psychotherapists, bodyworkers, medical practitioners, clergy, hypnotherapists, acupuncturists and guides — who want to become more conscious in their client relationships. It can be used as a classroom text, a manual for self-supervision, a guide for peer consultation or supervision groups, or to assist supervisors in more formal individual and group supervision. Many clients have also reported they found this book useful.

Claire Nana / PsychCentral Reviews – Kylea Taylor illuminates just what is necessary to offer an authentic relationship where genuine transformation can occur, and to utilize the tremendous power of shared energy — felt in transference and counter-transference — to invoke powerful change … It is precisely through exploring these deeper ends of the spectrum of human experience that profound healing and transformation occurs, and within which, according to Taylor, a broader range of human experience and expression can be found.

Reviews
“The Ethics of Caring is an extraordinarily helpful and groundbreaking new book for healers, clergy, therapists, and bodyworkers that illuminates what is necessary to offer wise and trustworthy relations to their clients. – Jack Kornfield, PhD
“The work with non-ordinary states of consciousness brings specific new challenges and problems that go beyond those encountered in traditional verbal and experiential approaches. Kylea Taylor’s book is a pioneering venture into these new territories, providing important guidelines for practitioners and their students.” – Stanislav Grof, M.D.
“Kylea Taylor’s model provides the scaffolding for practitioners to self-examine where they are particularly vulnerable to ethical digression. Her work is required reading for educators in prenatal and perinatal psychology and health. I highly recommend this book.” – Kate White, MA, LMT, Association for Prenatal and Perinatal Psychology & Health
Taylor’s assessment of the vulnerabilities inherent in the therapeutic process and the effects of the work on the therapist are brilliant and useful. Invaluable and vital for anyone who takes inner psychological or spiritual work seriously…No other book articulates the personal, professional, and relational issues involved with extraordinary states of consciousness as well as the intense and profound experiences encountered in traditional therapy work.” – Jane Steinhauser, D.Min., LPC
“By understanding how good people become confused about what they should or should not do, we are both warned and strengthened. Her chapters on money, sex, and power contain some of the most insightful discussions of these complex issues that I have ever seen.” – Judy Harrow, N. J. Association for Spiritual, Ethical & Religious Values in Counseling Newsletter Review (excerpt)
“The Ethics of Caring will be especially valuable for trainee caregivers, supervisors, clients looking for the appropriate therapist, and any professionals who finds themselves, as we all do from time to time, out of our depth. Comprehensive and visionary.” – Martin Boroson, Author
“The Ethics of Caring alerts healers to not underestimate… the palpable physical, emotional, and psychic vulnerabilities that come in these states and provides tools for navigating these deep and often confusing relationship elements. Only by understanding their own vulnerabilities can caregivers hope to enter more fully into truly healing relationships with their clients.” – ~ Mid-West Book Review
