Contributions to knowledge, conferences and Counselling Psychology Review: An ethical dilemma

Content & Focus: This editorial provides a brief reflection upon the need for counselling psychologists to be both consumers and producers of research. It takes inspiration from the 2014 Division of CounsellingPsychology Annual Conference and elaborates upon a chapter that I have been recently involved in writing for the forthcoming revised edition of the Handbook of Counselling Psychology. In particular, it reflects upon a number of ways that individuals can disseminate their work and argues that not doing anything with it can actually be unethical. The five papers incorporated in this edition are then provided as examples of where people have passed over the publishing threshold to share their work with interested others.
