Description

Should a counselor remain value-objective about controversial issues presented by a client (such as abortion, suicide, adultery, drug use, domestic violence, child abuse, etc.)? Some counselors might argue that they should not express their values or criticize their clients for these behaviors, while others would say that expressing moral judgment is appropriate.

Consider the information above and chapter 3 of the textbook. Write a 1,000-1,250-word paper addressing the following:

  1. Analyze the ethical implications of a counselor expressing their values to a client.

  2. Identify actions a counselor might take when confronted with clients they find difficult to treat due to differences in values/beliefs regarding one or more of the following issues: abortion, suicide, adultery, drug use, domestic violence, child abuse

  3. Identify factors that might lead a counselor to consider referring a client with any controversial issues to another counselor.

  4. Describe steps a counselor should take if referral is not an option.

Be sure to use the ACA and NAADAC codes of ethics as guidelines when constructing your paper.

Include three additional scholarly resources in your paper.

The Writing Suggestions document provides further suggestions for writing a quality paper.

improving the counselor’s expertise. Furthermore, personal values of the counselor and the client
can have a significant effect on the counseling process. Various clients may have varying views
on matters such as abortion, drug use, domestic violence and child abuse and among others.

As a result, personal biases may result in a conflict of values and behaviors between the client
and the counselor. The Code of Ethics recommends that counselors as professionals should
address their personal values outside the session. Also, personal values and beliefs may influence
the professional decisions of the counselor during the sessions and thus erode the client
