Respect for the rights and dignity of peopleAn ethical problem arises when the counselor has failed to develop a counseling plan with the client. Clients benefit most from therapy when the client and counselor share common goals and an understanding of what their work together will entail (ACA, 2005). A similar principle, that of respect for autonomy, is reflected in the APA Code of Ethics, which states that “individuals have the right to decide how to live their lives” (APA, 2010). For example, if the client's goal was to focus on developing skills to become a more responsible manager, then the sessions should have reflected that goal. Additionally, counselors' failure to understand their own values ​​and attempt to impose their values ​​on the client constitutes yet another ethical violation that undermined clients' autonomy (ACA, 2005). The counselor set goals for therapy sessions based on her own values ​​without considering the presenting problem from the client's perspective. It appears that the counselor views family life as repressive and uses the sessions as a means of highlighting the causes of the repression. Ignoring work-related issues that could have serious consequences for the client, including termination of her employment. There may also be a question of competing interests, for example, the client sought to improve her problems by taking initiative and being indecisive whereas the counselor is more interested in putting into practice the new techniques she has learned . The role of a professional is to meet the client's needs and refrain from imposing their own goal on the client (Koocher and Keith-Spiegel, 2008).Multiple Role RelationshipsThe counselor has entered into a multiple role relationship. ..... middle of paper ......). The counselor acted ethically by ensuring the client agreed with the termination and immediately referring her to another professional (APA, 2002). However, the counselor should have assessed the other professional's ability to effectively treat the client (APA, 2002). If the client did not benefit from a psychoanalyst, she is unlikely to benefit from another; the counselor should have referred the client to a professional who has experience treating similar clients.
