...avoid coercion, provide alternative treatment options, protect vulnerable clients, and select representative participants for addictions research. The ultimate goal of addictions counseling is to benefit the clients and society as a whole. Keywords: ethical, principles, addiction, counselor Introduction There are many counselors that are faced with ethical issues on a regular basis. These issues are intensified for an addiction counselor. There are a number of reasons for ethical issues for addiction counselors. One is that there is a high correlation between addiction and criminal activity. There is also the concern that ethical issues such as informed consent can be complicated by problems arising out of substance abuse. The counselor’s ability to cope with these and other issues is dependent, to a large degree, on their ability to weigh up the inherent risks and benefits of a multiplicity of options and make a moral and principled decision. Principles are informed by personal and professional values. The Code of Ethics adopted by the American Counseling Association (2005) sees these values as deeply ingrained in the counselor and developed out of personal dedication, rather than the mandatory requirement of an external organization. There are...

Though some proofreading, format, APA glitches, and missed expectations (e.g., body of paper was 15 pages vs. 14 page expectation) were present, this sample did satisfactorily organize cumulative work with a noticeably fresh synthesis of a solution-based, short-term pastoral counseling scenario. In like fashion, make every effort to do original work!] Abstract The Final Project applies the distinctive features of a solution-based, short-term pastoral counseling strategy to a counseling scenario with a pre-determined care-seeker, Brody, from the case study Crossroads: A Story of Forgiveness. It is the purpose of this writer to artificially move Brody through an abridged counseling process. The student counselor, Mercy Me, is the youth minister of an American Baptist Church with approximately 150 active members located in the close-knit, small community of Shingle Hollow, NC. Mercy’s hallmark purpose, glorifying God by being and imitator of Christ, guides, directs, and develops the process of tailoring her I/S DISC relational style to best demonstrate fit and build rapport with Brody’s C/S DISC relational style. The solution-based, short-term pastoral counseling strategy is utilized to move Brody from an attending position in phase one to a willing position in phase two. The counselor recognizes...

...LITERATURE REVIEW Literature Review – Trauma Felt by a Counselor Marie C Klemens Walsh University Abstract The purpose of this research is to identify that a counselor can be a victim of trauma, as well as their client. By taking care of oneself in a physical, mental and spiritual manner, they are preparing for a potentially well maintained professional life as a counselor. Knowledge and acceptance of these traumatic occurrences, is the first part of healing. The literature that I had obtained provided the reader, with great knowledge pertaining to the subject matter of vicarious traumatization and counter transference. By identifying both of these subjects as different forms of trauma, I also learned that they have similar qualities. With the knowledge that I am basing this research on and further exploration of this subject matter, counselors can be more prepared for their future. Literature Review - Trauma Felt by a Counselor The counseling profession is based on the realism as a powerful, but yet private relationship between a counselor and a client, but with ethics being a factor, all efforts are centered on being impartial and having good intentions (Jaffe & Diamond, 2011). Because of the tight relationship between a counselor and his or her client, it is humanly impossible that a client and a counselor will not endure feelings and reactions towards each other (Jaffe & Diamond, 2011). Trauma is the occurrence in which an individual is confronted...

In order to enhance patient health, measurable by shorter hospitalizations and improved adherence to medical regimens, a Health Psychology Committee has developed. A psychiatry division comprised of five specialists will be responsible for implementing psychological methods which will enable the treatment of the patient on a more complete level. Taking into consideration the undeniable presence of stress in any instance of illness and the fact that stress not only effects behavior responses but also impairs immune functioning by changes in the body’s physical systems the role of psychology becomes even more evident in providing patient care (Sarafino, 2006). By incorporating psychology in to health care the patient can experience a reduction in stress will ultimately enhance their overall health. Patients will be better equipped with the necessary skills to successfully adapt and cope with a variety of illnesses. Effective coping strategies can only be obtained through use of psychological methods. This will result in shorter hospitalizations and an increased patient compliance with treatment plans. Each case is a specialized issue, which requires treatment for the five different areas of Psychology input and or treatment. These five areas include a Psychologist that will work on specific issues that pertain to their specific area of study and or profession. The five psychologists...

...should look for student behavior that is out of the ordinary as a way of identifying students who may need to see the school counselor. The student she is concerned about is a seventh grade (13 year old) Asian male named Tai. She said that he seems to be more withdrawn since the shootings and believes one of the students who were shot was a friend of his. Tai is new to the school this year and participates in the free lunch plan. Case Conceptualization and Needs Assessment Having a comprehensive crisis management plan in place allows members of the school staff and community to be aware of policy and procedures related to identifying students who may be in crisis. A crisis management plan should detail student behavior which may be signs of mental illness or crisis. In doing so school staff have criteria in place that helps identify those who may need assistance. According to Allen et al., the role of the school counselor is defined by the American School Counselor Association's (ASCA, 2000) by the statement, "the professional school counselor's primary role is to provide direct counseling service during and after the incident" (ASCA), school counselors are expected to serve students and school personnel during times of crisis by providing individual and group counseling; consulting with administrators, teachers, parents, and professionals; and coordinating services within the school and in the community”. (Allen et al, 1996) In relation to this definition the role of...

... Crystal Anderson University of Phoenix BSHS/332 Professional, Ethical, and Legal issues in Human Services Audra Stinson October 8, 2012 A counselor’s perspective Social workers study psychological and sociological aspects of counseling. It is believed by some professionals, work performed by practitioners considered technically guided from their educational experience. There is communication abroad that suggests most or nearly every social worker develops ethical practices from their training or state licensing boards. During therapeutic involvement counselors explore various methods of intervention tactics learned. However, it is other viewpoints critical for the development of each therapist style. This paper examines the development of this counselor’s personal values, ground rules, and ethics in a professional setting. The main focus describes viewpoints of the counselor’s perspectives, the effects, and sources, which contributed to these notions. This paper further explains the counselor decisions in ethical practices. Moreover, primarily counselors are responsible for the entire treatment process for their clients.

It is the objective of this student to simulate an abridged counseling process with Josh, from the case study Crossroads: A Story of Forgiveness.

...Case Conceptualization using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) Michelle Banks Liberty University Abstract Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a short-term, problem-focused, and goal-orientated form of psychotherapy. CBT is a form of treatment that focuses on the relationship between thoughts, emotions, and behavior. Dysfunctional automatic thoughts, maladaptive assumptions, and maladaptive behaviors are three focuses of CBT. Cognitive behavioral therapy is one of the most extensively researched forms of psychotherapy. There are various ethical issues and several multi-cultural issues that need to be considered with CBT case formulation. Intake discussions with client and analysis of her assessment information suggest a pattern of dysfunctional automatic thoughts, maladaptive assumptions, and maladaptive behaviors. CBT techniques that will be used with client are behavioral activation, monitoring automatic thoughts, and exposure therapy. There may be spiritual challenges in utilizing Christian counseling with CBT. CBT and Christian counseling have are both compatible and incompatible. Case Conceptualization using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a short-term, problem-focused, and goal-orientated form of psychotherapy (Beck, 2011). CBT is not one specific treatment approach; rather it includes a combination of elements from cognitive, behavior, and emotion therapy (Murdock, 2013). CBT is a continuously evolving theory...

...of traumatic events requires an understanding of maladaptive behaviors, reactions and coping skills. Behavioral patterns emerge and become part of an adolescent’s personality. This paper will highlight the impact of traumatic experiences on adolescent cognitive development and their ability to foster an intrinsic knowledge of self. Maltreatment of adolescents has reached epidemic proportions within the United States. According to Bright (2008), “One in four children/adolescents experience at least one traumatic event before age 16” (p. 11). A study commissioned by Finkelhor, Ormrod, & Turner (2005) concluded the exposure to “physical abuse, sexual abuse, witnessing domestic violence, community violence, and natural disasters is a common occurrence among children in the U.S.” (p. 314). Reports of abused and neglected children overwhelm Child Protective Services hotline and the lack of manpower hinders response time, case management, and post-care services. Research has shown adolescent traumatic experiences are most likely perpetuated by an adolescent’s parent or “caregiving system” (van der Kolk, 2005. p. 402). According to van der Kolk (2005), “Most trauma begins at home; the vast...
