explore some of the counseling skills and standards originating from ethical standards of practice.

Assignment 1: Ethical Considerations

Counselors have to consider many guidelines when working with clients. There are state laws to follow, policies and procedures within agencies or organizations, licensing rules issued by governing boards, and also established ethical standards.

In this assignment, you will explore some of the counseling skills and standards originating from ethical standards of practice.

In the last module, you accessed, downloaded, and read the ethical codes for counselors and sport psychologists. For this assignment, complete the following tasks:

  • Search both the codes and define the following key concepts: confidentiality, power differential, and boundaries with clients.
  • Search for each concept within the codes and define each concept. There may be more than one application for each concept. For example, there may be physical boundaries to maintain with clients as well as emotional and financial boundaries. Explore all aspects of the three concepts above.
  • Then choose a specific population, such as child athletes or elite athletes, and discuss how these ethical standards are applied to the unique population.

Create a one- to two-page response in Microsoft Word. All written assignments and responses should follow APA rules for attributing sources. Cite appropriate sources, such as the section and paragraph number, in the ethics codes and include references at the end of the document.

Name the file SP6104_M2_A1_lastname_firstinitial.doc. Submit it to the M2: Assignment 1 Dropbox and the Discussion Area by the due date assigned.

Through the end of the module, comment on the responses of two peers, providing your viewpoint on the uniqueness of the standards selected by each author. Post your comments in the Discussion Area.

How should this delicate situation be handled?

Max Points: 5.0
Marcie is a new client and a 22-year-old female who works as a receptionist in a doctor’s office. She has just revealed to you during the intake session that she has recently lost interest in most activities, has been sleeping a great deal yet feels tired all the time, and sometimes wishes she could cease to exist. She mentioned feeling as though she has been “on an emotional roller coaster” during the past year, throughout her on-again/off-again relationship with a 35-year-old married man. The last breakup with him seemed final, and Marcie has felt herself sinking deeper and deeper into depression ever since. When probed further about suicidal ideations, Marcie admitted that she has considered killing herself, although she is uncertain whether or not she would actually do it. She said that she is currently in possession of a gun that her friend allowed her to keep in her home following a rash of burglaries in the neighborhood, but she does not know whether she would actually use it.

You have consulted with your supervisor, who has agreed that Marcie should be referred immediately for a psychiatric evaluation and has instructed you to arrange for Marcie to go directly from your office to a nearby hospital. Marcie told you that her mother accompanied her and is in the waiting room, but she has emphatically stated that she does not want her mother to know what is going on with her. How should this delicate situation be handled? Why? What are three ethical and/or legal concerns about this case?

Assignment 2: —Typical Reasoning

People often take shortcuts in problem solving and quickly arrive at answers. Known as heuristics, these shortcuts may increase the speed of decisions but may also decrease the accuracy of those decisions. The experiment used in this assignment deals with inaccurate decisions based on the conjunction fallacy, where people think the chance of two events happening at the same time is greater than just one event occurring. However, the chance of one event occurring is greater than two events occurring; hence, the fallacy.

Access the CogLab demonstration Typical Reasoning. Follow the instructions to complete the demonstration. Next, answer the following questions:

  • For this demonstration, on average, do participants give higher ratings for single events or conjunctions of events? Based on the demonstration results, did you make your judgments by using objective probabilities? Why or why not?
  • What is a stereotype? How do stereotypes relate to the findings of this demonstration?
  • Respond to the following two situations:
    • You and two of your coworkers have just interviewed a candidate for a job opening at your law firm. Your boss asks you what inferences you made about the candidate during the interview. What can you do to maximize your likelihood of making a correct inference?
    • John is a young, energetic, muscular, and outgoing individual. Estimate the following for him:
  • He is tall and likes sports
  • He is tall, likes sports, and has lots of friends

Write your initial response in 4–5 paragraphs. Apply APA standards to citation of sources.

Values, culture, and underlying beliefs of human services providers may raise dilemmas when handling cases involving issues such as infidelity, domestic violence, and parenting matters. In this week’s media program, “Barbara—The Human Services Professional: Chapter 3,” a number of issues impact the family, which raises questions that might be influenced by your own personal values. For this Discussion, review the media program and consider the dilemmas affecting the family. Reflect on who is involved and what values and cultural influences might impact the case.

With these thoughts in mind:
