Abstract: This article presents an overview of ethical issues surrounding psychopharmacology as it applies to the field of couple and family counseling. The authors ground their discussion of these issues in the ethical codes of the American Counseling Association and the International Association of Marriage and Family Counselors. Case studies illustrate the ethical issues that couple and family counselors may face when working with clients who have been prescribed psychotropic medications.
