This document discusses ethics in counseling and psychotherapy. It covers multiple perspectives on ethics including individual practitioner-focused and team/agency-focused approaches. Key principles discussed include the ethics of client autonomy, fidelity, beneficence, non-maleficence, justice, and self-respect. While principles provide prospective guidance and justification, values and personal moral qualities also strongly influence ethical practice. These include respect, integrity, alleviating suffering, and competence. The overall effect is a maturing profession that emphasizes ethical accountability over rule-following and cultivates intrinsic ethics.

Ethics is More than a Code: Ethical Foundations, Positive Ethics, and Ethical Decision-Making
This was a day-long, 6 hour CE course.
Not for the faint of heart.
This is a companion Powerpoint to Ethics & Psychology Podcast on ethical decision-making.
The importance of this podcast and Episode 5 is to set up vignette analysis in future podcasts. Everyone needs to be on the same page in order to apply ethical decision-making in instructional or real life situations.
Counselor Dispositional Expectations Dispositions are the values.docxvanesaburnand
Counselor Dispositional Expectations
Dispositions are the values, commitments, and professional ethics that influence behaviors toward others, and, if sincerely held, dispositions lead to actions and patterns of professional conduct. The Grand Canyon University Counseling Program’s dispositions adhere to the University’s mission statement, as well as to the established counseling profession codes of ethics.
The Grand Canyon University Counseling Program have adopted the following dispositions for its students derived from the American Counseling Association (ACA) Code of Ethics. Although these dispositions are not all inclusive, they do represent values and qualities that are warranted by counseling students. Students who fail to adhere to or demonstrate such dispositions may be subject to disciplinary actions.
· Psychological Fitness - Counselors* are aware and assess their motives for pursuing the counseling profession. They are aware of their unfinished emotional and/or mental health issues, and resolve them before starting to provide counseling services to others. Counselors engage in self-care and seek resolutions to issues that arise during their practice. Counselors adhere to the American Counseling Association (ACA) Code of Ethics and/or the NAADAC, the Association for Addiction Professionals Code of Ethics.
· Self-Awareness - Counselors are aware of their personal moral, ethical, and value systems and provide counseling services with objectivity, justice, fidelity, veracity, and benevolence. Counselors are acutely aware of their personal limitations in providing services, and are willing to refer clients to another provider when necessary.
· Cultural Diversity - Counselors respect, engage, honor, and embrace diversity and a multicultural approach that supports the worth, dignity, potential, and uniqueness of people within their social and cultural context. Counselors promote self-advocacy and assist clients in advocating for empowerment within their cultural context.
· Acceptance - Counselors foster a healthy climate of change by providing and promoting acceptance, and a nonjudgmental environment during the therapeutic process. They understand their personal value system and do not impose their values, attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors on their clients.
· Empathy - Counselors foster understanding, compassion, and avoid any actions that can cause harm to a client. Counselors treat others with dignity and respect.
· Genuineness - Counselors deal truthfully with themselves and their clients, in order to avoid harming their clients.
· Flexibility - Counselors practice a client-centered approach, and align treatment to the client’s goals for therapy.
· Patience - Counselors understand the therapeutic process and respect client’s efforts to gain control over their lives. Counselors encourage an environment that promotes self-empowerment and allows client’s voice in the therapeutic process.
· Amiability - Counselors do not suppor.
2. The changes: to ... Generic Talking therapy as both personal and social action + Team and agency Multiple ethical perspectives offered Other approaches to expressing ethics included Relational ethics Role specific Talking therapy as personal/individual action Individual practitioner Ethic of client autonomy dominant Ethical principles dominant
3. Ethic of client autonomy -strengths Challenges assumptions about professional power Strengthens client power and influence by directing attention to the client’s right to be self-governing Directs attention to importance of free and informed consent, confidentiality, rejects manipulation for social ends
4. Ethic of client autonomy - limitations Culturally biased - presupposes atomistic and individualistic approach to self Leaves an ethical void when limitations to autonomy encountered - dependency/lack of capacity, suicidal intent(?), harm to others Weak on practitioner’s valid rights Inhibits awareness of wider social context and responsibilities - self in relationship
5. Innovations – new principles Fidelity -honouring the trust placed in the practitioner ethic of relationship trustworthiness, boundaries, confidentiality, mutual respect Closely matches ethic of autonomy in Western culture but adaptable to other social and cultural contexts
6. Innovations - autonomy Autonomy - respect for client’s right to be self-governing addresses power imbalance, informed consent, confidentiality, clients as ends in themselves -not means to an end - ie rejects manipulation for beneficial social ends
7. Innovations - new principles Beneficence - promoting client’s well-being Non-maleficence - avoidance of harm previously implicit as subsidiary principles vulnerable clients incapable of autonomy prohibition on exploitation responsibility for dependent clients who are vulnerable to harm?
8. Innovations - new principles Justice - fair and impartial treatment of all clients and the provision of adequate services respect for human rights and dignity conscientiously considering any legal requirements fairness and avoidance of discrimination striving for fair and adequate provision of services
9. Innovations - new principles Self-respect - fostering the practitioner’s self-knowledge and care of self controversial but important in relationship with client’s, colleagues and others appropriate application of all the previous principles to self personal and professional development validates life outside talking therapies
10. Strengths and limitations of principles Dominant in professional ethics Good way of expressing prospective expectations and retrospective justification Rational, analytic and action orientated impersonal and detached? BUT Ethics in practice are informed by underpinning ethical commitment, values, and experienced as personal moral qualities ….
11. Values Values inform principles respect for human rights and dignity integrity of practitioner-client relationships enhancing quality of professional knowledge alleviating personal distress and suffering facilitating a sense of self that is meaningful …
12. Personal moral qualities Empirical evidence that the practitioner’s personal qualities are foremost in clients’ sense of safety and quality of relationship Cannot be required by definition Need to be deeply rooted in the person as an act of personal commitment Qualities are what we aspire to
13. Personal moral qualities Empathy Sincerity Integrity Resilience Respect Humility Competence Fairness Wisdom Courage
14. Overall effect Recognition that profession is maturing and facing complex ethical challenges for which there may be several appropriate responses Change the professional culture and ethos from conformity to rules to ethical accountability and engagement Fostering ethical understanding and practice intrinsic ethics - ethical mindfulness
