Profession Counseling Ethics

In our everyday life we hear about these issues all the time. Remaining value-neutral about abortion, suicide, adultery, drug use, domestic violence, and child abuse, will not be very easy because we all have our different opinion on such issues. Some of these issue my friends and I discuss everyday and we give our value opinion on these issues which is a little rough. If I would take my personal value along with my friend’s personal value and bring it into my therapy session, it would become overkill. Whether or not I agree with the issues that I am presented with and may not agree with the values of clients, I must respect the rights of my clients to hold …show more content…
Also, I need to confront my own fear about death and dying. I know one day we all have to go, but it is hard to know someone you love or care about is going to die or is suffering and want to end their lives. I feel if a client comes in for therapy to discuss suicide I would listen and find out if the client decision is a rational suicide. I do not think anyone should suffer before they die, if the client has a terminal illness and she tired of the constant suffering and want to end her life, I would counsel the client and help her with her …show more content…
I try to talk with her concerning her health, I told her that man can kill her one day; nothing I could have said could make my friend leave her husband. When she had her daughter, the beaten continue until I threaten to call ACS on her and take her daughter out of that environment, I let her know I am the God mother of her daughter and I will not stand by and watch my God daughter grow up in that environment. This almost took our friendship, what was she thinking? I think this is a good as time as any to refer the client with these issues to someone else because my values and those of the client clash to such extent that I do question my ability to be

    Ethics Case Study

    Jerry’s medical training does not qualify him to issue the refill order. The patient’s physician is the one who needs to determine whether or not the patient should have a prescription of Valium issued for his flight or not. Jerry’s medical training does not qualify him to issue any prescription to any patient regardless of what it is and who it is for. If a patient’s prescription request was for control of high blood pressure that the patient critically needed on a daily basis Jerry would still not have the professional credentials to allow him to issue the prescription orders. If faced with such a scenario Jerry should explain to the patient that he does not have the right to issue a prescription of any kind but that he would make it his first priority to tell the receptionist when he or she returned from his or her lunch break.…

    SW3010 Practice Methods: The NASW Code Of Ethics

    One value that I see especially helpful would be the way I look at humanity as a whole. The NASW Code of Ethics value of dignity and worth of the person, which states that social workers treat each person in a caring and respectful fashion, mindful of individual differences and cultural and ethnic diversity, comes to mind. I have always believed the outside of a person is just that: a shell. We all feel sorrow or joy, safe or insecure, content or dissatisfied on the inside. Seeing people for who they are and not for how they look is an ideal that I have tried to incorporate into my life. While there are people who may not hold many values highly, I usually try to feel compassion for how they became that way in the…

    Ethics Case Study

    Medical laws have been put into place to protect not only the patient, but also the physicians, nurses, and medical office staff. The laws were put into place to ensure that these professionals follow the correct procedures and steps that only qualified persons follow. The definition of practicing medicine has also been clearly explained. Those professionals who do not abide by these set laws are therefore subject to punishment by law (Baxter 2005).…

    The ACA Code Of Ethics In Counseling Profession

    The ACA Code of Ethics is a set of standards for professional helpers to follow. The Code “reflects the counseling profession’s understanding of the responsibilities inherent in the covenantal relationship with society” (Ponton & Duba, 2009). This Code is a set of standards to basically keep everyone on the same page when working with clients. Upon reading the Code, I was intrigued with the Bartering component found in section A.10.d. I did not realize that bartering was allowed at such a professional level. The Code states that “counselors consider the cultural implications” before agreeing to a bartering arrangement (ACA Code of Ethics, 2006). Bartering could be considered, especially when working with clients from other cultures,…

    I would remain truthful to myself and of my obligations and responsibilities as an officer. I would take full accountability of policies and procedures that’s followed with the duties of my position. Although my partner didn’t take the responsibility by following the rules of contacting the teenagers’ parents or video tapping the interrogation questioning, I would have to think logical about the actions I should take to fix this problem. Do to the fact my partner and I worked as a team to pick up the two gang members, I probably would be left with either two options. I would either take the blame along with my partner, or acknowledge the actions that my co-worker chose to do in handling the case.…

    Value Objectivity Paper: Therapist Values And Beliefs

    When a therapist does not agree with a client’s values, it is important that the therapist does not portray personal beliefs and values onto clients. When a therapist supports clients in their own determination it can empower the client. Value imposition suggests therapist is attempting to encourage a client to adopt their values, attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors (Corey et al., 2015). The main focus is to give guidance to clients to help them discover and develop personal values. If clients goals are based off own personal values, and therapist does not agree with same values, this makes it difficult for therapist to help client reach goals specified in assessment (Kelly, 2005). An example of this would be if a therapist does not believe in trying to work out a long term relationship where adultery has occurred, and client’s desire is to try to stay together; therapist may not be able to help client reach goals…

    Ethical Dilemmas In Counseling

    Standard 3.04 states “Psychologists take reasonable steps to avoid harming their clients/patients, students, supervisees, research participants, organizational clients and others with whom they work, and to minimize harm where it is foreseeable and unavoidable” (APA, 2010). Amy right know is in a vulnerable state that is why she seeks the help of her counselor. Her counselor on the other hand is not being very supportive. She is trying to make Amy change her mind about having an abortion, pushing her beliefs on Amy. As a counselor is your job to listen to your client and not pass judgment. You need to check your values at the door because it is not about what you believe in or what you think is right. Yes you may have a difference of opinion but why you bring up that during their sessions. I believe as a counselor you are going to hear things that are not going to believe in, things that you never thought were possible, or things you feel are not right, but it is not your place to judge. You took an oath and you must follow that oath in order to do your…

    Suicide Assessment

    First and foremost, Harrington & Daughetee (2014) stress the importance of knowing how I as a counselor feel about suicide. Competencies include knowledge and attitudes towards suicide as well as knowing if this client is a low, medium, or high risk, based on assessments (Harrington & Daughetee, 2014). My instinctive reaction to suicide is that I would want to help prevent it, if possible. I can understand my need to prevent it, equally as I can empathize with a client wanting to end their life to stop the pain. I can remain nonjudgmental and have authentic concern towards the client.…

    Suicide Argumentative Analysis

    Everyone comes to the table with their own beliefs, some religiously backed, others from personal experiences leading to serious divisions in opinion. It is extremely important to keep the dialogue open and to be able to truly acknowledge the complexities of every person's situation that may lead them to consider suicide. No one should be scorned for rationally choosing an option that would end their suffering, nor should their loved ones have to feel ashamed of their decision in addition to the grief that comes with any death no matter the circumstance. Suicide doesn't have to be evil, for those suffering, it can be their only form of…
