  21. Nonmaleficence • Do no harm • For example, the duty to use only interventions that are not likely to harm clients • Professionals use their power wisely so that clients, students, or research participants leave the experience at least no worse off than they began

  22. Beneficence • The responsibility to do good • The duty to help not only clients, but also society in general • Professionals work within the boundaries of their competence and strive to promote the public welfare

  23. Autonomy • Respect for the inherent freedom and dignity of each person • The right to privacy • Duty to obtain informed consent and to maintain confidentiality Limit: A person’s actions or intended actions cannot interfere with the freedoms of others

  24. Justice • Obligation to: • be fair and nondiscriminatory • avoid bias • be sure services are accessible to the public • protect the public welfare and to actively combat discrimination

  25. Fidelity • Faithfulness to promises made • Allegiance to the truth • Placing clients’ interests ahead of your own • Loyalty to clients and the profession

  32. An Introduction to Professional Ethics

  33. “Professional Face” ADVICE FROM STUDENTS! • If you haven’t before, you are now stepping into the professional arena • Be conscientious of what you wear when you attend practicum or internship • We’re not talking suits and ties here, people (unless that’s what you’re into), but being a professional starts with how you present yourself.

  34. “Professional Face” ADVICE FROM STUDENTS! • Save the jeans and mini dresses for the club • No low cut tops • No flip flops • Undergarments are meant to be under your clothing • Refer to the dress code at your placement site • Be neat and tidy • Dress for success! • Dress as if for church

  35. Social Media • Facebook, Twitter, MySpace (if that’s still around…) • Use the strongest privacy settings, but even then ALWAYS be careful what you post because you never know who will see it. • Always have your professional face on, so please no proof of drunken nights out, looking “hot,” or kissy faces (no duck face!). • Avoid checking your sites while on the job. ADVICE FROM STUDENTS!

  36. Social Media • NEVER post anything online about a client! • Not only is that ethically wrong, but you might share mutual friends • No matter how exciting or funny (or even gross), whatever is said in therapy STAYS IN THERAPY! ADVICE FROM STUDENTS!

  37. Social Media • It can be a slippery slope! • Do not friend request clients or accept friend requests from clients (or friends/family of clients). • Do not even go searching for clients on social networking sites. • Remember to just say no… • to any form of relationship, romantic or otherwise, outside of the therapy relationship. • “Abstinence from Self-Gratification” ADVICE FROM STUDENTS!

  38. Avoid Multiple Relationships According to the American Psychological Association : “A multiple relationship occurs when a psychologist is in a professional role with a person and (1) at the same time is in another role with the same person, (2) at the same time is in a relationship with a person closely associated with or related to the person with whom the psychologist has the professional relationship, or (3) promises to enter into another relationship in the future with the person or a person closely associated with or related to the person.” In other words, a multiple relationship occurs when a mental health professional has connections with clients outside of the therapeutic relationship. • Once referred to as “dual relationships” • Concurrent or Consecutive ADVICE FROM STUDENTS!

  39. Avoid Multiple Relationships Multiple relationships can affect the therapeutic relationship and be harmful to clients. • Professional’s judgment and objectivity are compromised: • Power imbalance • Threat of self-interest • Conflict-of-interest • Client’s responses are altered - “undue influence”: • Emotional attachment • Trust • Confidence in mental health professional Examples: • Friend and Counselor • Business partner and Counselor • Employee/Employer and Counselor • Dating Partner and Counselor ADVICE FROM STUDENTS!

  40. Confidentiality Definition • “An ethical duty to keep client identity and disclosures secret” • “Legal duty to honor the fiduciary relationship with the client” (Welfel, 2013, p. 118). Limits • Suspicion of Child/Elder abuse (vulnerable individuals) • “Clear and imminent” danger to client or others (SC Code, Section 36-19 B4) ADVICE FROM STUDENTS!

  41. Privileged Communication Privilege protects the client’s right to confidentiality in legal proceedings by preventing the court from demanding information that was disclosed to a mental health professional.

  42. Informed Consent • Definition • Explanation of the counseling process (Disclosure) • Clients understand that they have the right to decide whether they want to receive those services (Voluntariness) • It is a process, not simply something that happens at the outset of treatment. **Must explain limits to confidentiality during the consent process** ADVICE FROM STUDENTS!

  43. Multicultural Counseling • Sue & Sue (1999) wrote: “It is our contention that the reasons why minority-group individuals underutilize and prematurely terminate counseling/therapy lie in the biased nature of the services themselves. The services offered are frequently antagonistic or inappropriate to the experiences of the culturally different client; they lack sensitivity and understanding; and they are oppressive and discriminating toward minority clients.”

  44. Supervision • Face-to-face contact between a supervisor and trainee in which the diagnosis and treatment of each client is reviewed. • The trainee is provided with guidance in treating, diagnosing, and dealing with clients. • During the interaction the person’sperformance is reviewed by the supervisor. ADVICE FROM STUDENTS!

  45. Two Types of Supervision • Group supervision • a regularly scheduled meeting of not more than 4 supervisees and a supervisor • no less than 1 ½ hours • Individual supervision • a meeting of 1 or 2 supervisees with a supervisor • at least a 1-hour session

  46. Just Say NO to Boundary Violations! ADVICE FROM STUDENTS! • Maintain proper boundaries with supervisors! • Don’t engage any nonprofessional interaction that may compromise the supervisory relationship. • Don’t have sex with a supervisor! • Don’t be a victim of sexual harassment! • Choose nonprofessional relationships carefully; always seek guidance and DOCUMENT!

  47. Benefits of Supervision ADVICE FROM STUDENTS! • You have a lifeline! You can provide better care to clients under the guidance of an experienced professional. • Building skills: Working closely with another professional allows you to try and be introduced to other techniques. • You can get your license! Completing required supervision hours helps you obtain your license. • Take notes and actively participate in all supervisory experiences. • In your supervision notes, there should be NO identifying data. • Request that your supervisor look over them to insure that confidentiality and anonymity are protected.

  48. GRADUATION!! Always look ahead, toward your goals!
