Professional relationships with clients exist for benefitting the client. Examine your personal needs that can create growth-producing relationships.

30. Ethical Decision Making

31. Ethical Decision Making (1 of 3) Ethics codes are a fundamental component of effective counseling: They are guidelines that outline professional standards of behavior and responsible practice. Counselors must interpret and apply ethical principles to their decision making. Codes do not make decisions for counselors

32. Ethical Decision Making (2 of 3) The principles that underlie our professional codes: benefit others, do no harm, respect other’s autonomy, and be just, fair and faithful.

33. Ethical Decision Making (3 of 3) The following are the steps in making ethical decisions: Identify the problem, look at the relevant ethics codes and laws, seek consultation, brainstorm various possible courses of action, list consequences, decide, and document the reasons for your actions.

Client requests a release of record.

41. Ethical Issues From Multicultural Perspective

42. Ethical Issues From Multicultural Perspective (1 of 2) Current theories can be, and need to be, expanded to include a multicultural perspective. Assumptions made about mental health, optimum human development, and the nature of effective treatment may have little relevance for some clients. Theories should incorporate an interactive person-in-the-environment focus.

43. Ethical Issues From Multicultural Perspective (2 of 2) Counselors must be mindful of diversity and social justice issues to practice ethically and effectively.
