CCMS Books:
We offer two books that may interest you.
The first entitled Keeping It Simple is the compilation of five booklets originally written by Robert C. Hickle. They represent his reflections after counseling alcoholics, addicts and their families for 40 years.
The second Interactive
Ethics: How Ethical and Unethical Decisions Are REALLY Made In Organizations considers the interaction of psychological, sociological, economic, political
and other factors which influence the ethical decision making process in organizations. It is NOT a HOW TO book but rather an examination of HOW DO such decisions get made in organizations.
We provide a 4 session course based on the Interactive Ethics book. It is offered through a combination of online chat and email discussions. Check out that Interactive Ethics course page for details.
