Because the area is public, the researcher does not plan to ask for informed consent form the children’s parents. What ethical concerns exist for this study? What questions might an IRB ask?

  • Autonomy
  • Nonmaleficence

  • Compliance with credentialing board requirements for incorporating informed consent into practice

 

Section 2: Responsibility to Warn and Protect

Identify the factors that you will consider in order to determine your “duty to warn” and “duty to protect” responsibilities as a counselor.

  • How do you plan to maintain a healthy balance between your professional and personal life?
  • What healthy self-care activities have you engaged in in the past or present?

(Please note: The Counseling Community Connections website has a Counselor and Counseling Resource List available to you. The direct link is in the Topic 4 Resources.

Summarize a population you are passionate about how you can get involved. What ethical responsibilities does a counselor have for advocacy? Cite at least one ACA code.

Section 6: Counselor Values

  • Select one of the following issues you feel strongest about from the following:
  • (A 19-year-old rape victim wants an abortion, but her parents are vehemently opposed to abortion on religious grounds and have stated that they will no longer consider her their daughter if she proceeds. The young woman is firm in her plans but wants your help in changing her parents’ attitudes.)
  • Gay adoption. (John and Bill, after living in a committed relationship for 7 years, decide that they want to begin a family. They have differing opinions about whether to use a surrogate mother or adopt a child.)
  • Assisted suicide. (Eleanor, an 87-year-old with terminal cancer, has decided to end her life but is undecided about how to discuss this with her family, or if she should discuss it with them at all. She seeks your guidance in this decision but is not interested in revisiting her decision to end her life.)
  • Extramarital affairs. (Both spouses in a couple you are counseling are having affairs, which they claim are not contributing in any way to their current marital difficulties. They want your help in strengthening their marriage, but they are both committed to the “open marriage” concept that does not require sexual monogamy.)
  • Describe your personal values and attitudes towards the selected issues as well as how you would advocate for the client(s) in each situation you selected. How would you work with a client who was in direct conflict with your advocacy group/ a group that you are passionate about? HINT: Make sure you review the respective code of ethics specific to your program of study (ACA or ASCA). Reference the relevant ethical codes in your response.
