Case Analysis: John Smith
Obtaining informed consent for services from clients is required
of human services providers; however, it is not always an easy
task. Clients typically grant consent by signing documents
presented by the agency or the provider that, at minimum,
explain the services that will be provided, the client rights, and
information on the steps to rescind the consent.
In situations where minors or individuals under some form of
guardianship are the clients, it is necessary to obtain consent
from the legal guardian or authority. However, there are times
when obtaining informed consent is not as simple as asking for
a signature from the client or guardian. These situations require
more thought by the human services providers with emphasis on
balancing the client's right to consent with other factors that
might influence treatment outcomes or decisions.
In this assignment, you will review a case that illustrates the
various facets of informed consent.
The Case:
Smith is a thirty-eight-year-old African American male referred
for counseling by his mother to address recent incidents of
aggression. Smith resides with his mother because he is not able
to live on his own. Smith is unable to hold on to a job and has
difficulty establishing and maintaining relationships with
others. He is open to counseling but thinks his mother is
overreacting to his anger outbursts because she is old and does
not understand him. Recently, there have been notable conflicts
between them due to Smith's aggressive behaviors that were
directed toward his mother.
Tasks:
Analyze the case and in a 2- to 3-page paper, address the
following:
What steps would you, as the counselor, take for obtaining
informed consent from Smith?
Would you, as the counselor, include his mother in the
counseling sessions, if you believe it would help with Smith's
aggression problem? Why or why not?
In your answers, consider the following:
Smith is not able to live independently.
Smith's aggression might put his mother at risk if he does not
get counseling.
Smith has to comprehend what is being asked of him when he
provides his consent to receive counseling services.
There might be cultural differences between you and Smith.
