Assignment:

Should a counselor remain value-objective about controversial issues presented by a client (such as abortion, suicide, adultery, drug use, domestic violence, child abuse)? Some counselors might argue that they should not self-disclose their values or criticize their clients for these behaviors, while others would say that expressing moral judgment is appropriate. Consider the information above, Chapter 3 of the textbook, and the articles focused on ethical decision-making models. This paper should be written in the third person. Write a 1,000 to 1,250-word paper addressing the following:

• Analyze the ethical implications of a counselor expressing their values to a client.
• 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, and child abuse.
• Identify some of the legislation and government policies related to clinical mental health counseling or school counseling.
• Identify factors that might lead a counselor to consider referring a client to another counselor.
• Describe steps a counselor should take if a referral is not an option and discuss a specific ethical decision-making model that would be used to ensure best practices.
• Be sure to use the ACA or ASCA Code of Ethics as guidelines when constructing your paper.
• Include three additional scholarly resources in your paper in addition to the course textbook.
