This much-needed work examines the three most litigated areas in clergy counseling: breaches of confidentiality, sexual misconduct, and the content and quality of counseling service. The authors provide clear and concise explanations of clauses in the U.S. Constitution pertaining to religion as well as up-to-date accounts of cases against clergy and their employers.

As a quick reference guide for the clergy and other religious counselors, this book is quite helpful. It brevity however does not permit it to be exhaustive and therefore one must recognize that it does not answer most or all of the questions that might be raised. While the discussions of these three areas of suits and the law in general are adequate, they are not exhaustive and one must seek additional supporting information from other sources and must avail himself of the advise of an attorney to be fully informed.
