Counselor Ethical Boundaries and Practices

Consider yourself as a future counselor as you write. Provide a thoughtful response to each of the following sections, including specific, concrete examples to illustrate your ideas. Use the headings given below to separate each section of your paper.In 500-750 words, outline a series of criteria and describe how you would integrate this criteria into an ethical decision-making model to determine whether or not a particular boundary-crossing or dual relationship is ethical and appropriate. Present examples of how you would apply this criteria to at least four counseling situations in which you believe the dual relationship issues are complex and ambiguous. For example, do not use the clear-cut examples of sexual relationships with current clients or fraudulent billing for services. In addition, examine these issues in terms of former clients. Do the ethical issues (and your opinion about appropriateness) change, depending on how long after the termination of therapy a dual relationship is initiated? What are the key ethical dimensions that might change, after the termination of therapy? Present an example of a situation that you believe would constitute a boundary violation with a current client but that might be acceptable with a former client.In 500-750 words, clearly describe what you consider to be the most important developments in your thinking about ethical practice that have occurred during this course.
