Читать книгу Theory and Practice of Couples and Family Counseling - James Robert Bitter - Страница 101

We now shift to a discussion of some of the most commonly encountered or constructed ethical dilemmas when working with couples and family members. Whole texts have been written addressing ethics in family practice (Golden, 2004; Herlihy & Corey, 2015; IAMFC, 2017; Murphy & Hecker, 2017; Wilcoxon et al., 2013; Woody & Woody, 2001): The most common dilemmas that surface are related to confidentiality, multiple clients, informed consent, and gender and multicultural issues. We now delineate some of the issues that family practitioners have faced in these four areas. This is not a comprehensive list, and there are no easy answers to propose. We touch on these issues so that you will know that you are not alone when you are confronted with similar ethical problems. Reflect on Sidebar 4.1.
