Читать книгу Theory and Practice of Couples and Family Counseling - James Robert Bitter - Страница 109

Ethical practice is supported by an understanding of ethical principles, virtues, the law, professional codes of ethics, models of ethical decision-making, and you. If you are in the presence of your client, you are engaged in an ethical encounter— from the time you prepare for an upcoming session through the completion of your weekly case notes. During all aspects of the encounter, you have the potential to harm or promote the well-being of your client. An ethical practitioner recognizes the subtle, nuanced ways in which counseling or therapy influences clients. Ethical encounters highlight the importance of personal awareness and presence in therapeutic relationships.
