Unit 3 Discussion 2
Ethical Issues in Counseling Children and Teens [u03d2] Unit 3 Discussion 2
Overview
For this discussion, briefly describe the hypothetical case that you have created (or are creating) for your Unit 3 assignment. Then, identify one potential ethical and one potential legal concern that you would have in mind, as you began counseling with this child or adolescent. Explain the course of action you would take in the first session in order to prevent legal or ethical problems by communicating clearly with your client while also building rapport. Use the course readings for this week to support your conclusions.
Example Scenario
As an example, consider this scenario: Kendra, a 16-year-old student, has been encouraged by her best friend to come see you. Kendra called to make the appointment herself. She lives alone with her mother who works the night shift at a local club. Kendra says she hopes that her mother won’t have to know about her counseling because “she’s always tired,” and Kendra’s concern has to do with a boyfriend her mother dislikes. Kendra has never actually met the boyfriend; he is someone she connected with online who she’s been texting. Recently, the texts have become very sexual and Kendra has begun feeling uncomfortable, although she also finds the relationship exciting.
Based on your readings this week, what would be one potential ethical issue that would be foremost in your mind as you begin counseling Kendra? What would be one potential legal issue? How would you handle these concerns when Kendra comes in?
