When looking at the AMHCA Code of Ethics, it also talks about in code C.1.M., counselors need to be aware and understand the cultural background of their own values and beliefs and understand how that can affect the client (AMHCA, 2015). I also notice the ACA Code of Ethics and AMHCA Code of Ethics have similarities. The ACA Code of Ethics provides guideline for all professional counselors and counselors in training, not just a specific specialization like AMHCA Code of Ethics that is pertaining to mental health counselors.
I agree also that people may go through similar situations but handle it in a different way. Having he Code of Ethics guidelines will help provide the most ethical service to the client. Great
