n order to minimize professional liability and ensure treatments of clients so that they remain soundly and within the boundaries of professional standards it is up to the counselor to inform and educate his/her clients about the code of ethics (the clients may not know there boundaries) as well as determine if the client needs to be transferred to another professional. For example if the client attempts to cross the boundaries it’s the consoler responsibility to be an authority figure in these cases, as mentioned in the ACA it’s part the counselors job to determine if the client needs to see a different professional. Decisions and treatment options for the client are always made with the best interest in mind for the client. As mentioned in the code of ethics section A.2.e Mandated client’s counselors discuss the required limitations to confidentiality when working with clients who have been mandated for counseling services.…
We must remember that it is not the counselor’s role to change the client’s values; it is…
The first thing I would do is to re-assure the client that her feelings were understandable and that a treatment approach would help in resolving the issues experienced by the client. That is, I would affirm the aspect of hope to the client.…
At the beginning the client will feel the power side of the relationship is with the counsellor, they will know the counsellor is professionally trained, also the counsellor will be on familiar territory if the session is at the counsellors choice of venue, but, by explaining to the client the therapeutic process they will quickly realise the counsellor is committed to shifting the power to the client thus assisting with the therapeutic alliance. By being totally congruent from the beginning will display to the client there are no hidden agendas, the counsellor is totally transparent, non-judgemental, the counsellor has empathy towards the client and understands them.…
There is nothing more personal and private than your own body. Out of everything in this world, it is the one thing that you truly own and it is the one thing you have control over. By limiting abortion the government is quiet literally forcing itself into the most personal, private, and intimate part of your life. What you decide to do with your own body has nothing to do with the greater well being of society. Having an abortion effects one person and one person only, the person who is pregnant. Anti-choice proponents say that abortion is the murder of a child, but they refuse to acknowledge a multitude of scientific evidence that shows that a a cluster of cells is not its own being. It is contained within a human being, it cannot live…
If the boundaries are not kept to then issues could become apparent which could effect the ethical practice of counselling. Such issues include, dual relationships is a no no, the counsellor is there to counsell and the client is there to be counselled and this is the way it must remain, the counsellor must by no means make a self disclosure to the client. If the counsellor feels they have something to disclose than they must see a counsellor themselves. It is important that the counsellor…
The human body is amazing. It can protect one from sickness, harm. It can create beautiful art or fantastical inventions. It can surpass impossible limits. The human body is amazing. It’s amazing and it can create life. But, we, as humans, can take away that life. Humans can inhibit a person from moving forward. Humans can stop a person from feeling happiness or wholeness. And all because we, as humans, make abortion illegal. When abortion is illegal, it restricts a girl or woman from living the life she deserves. When abortion is illegal, it shows that a group of fellow humans love a forming bundle of cells more than the person standing before them.…
according to the most recent information gathered by the CDC, there were 10,673 abortions performed in the state of Nevada in 2006. However, roughly 2,600 of those abortions were performed in Reno’s only abortion clinic, west end women’s medical group. The decision to terminate a pregnancy is a very personal and unique experience for each woman. When a woman does decide she wants an abortion, nurses/caregivers play a vital role in the abortion process. It is essential that abortion clinic nurses/caregivers possess specific characteristics and attitudes, such as: 1) a nonjudgmental attitude towards sexuality and induced abortion; 2) empathy in her relationship with clients; 3) personal warmth and ability to help client overcome…
WASHINGTON President Bush on Thursday signed into law a bill that would make it a separate crime to kill or harm an unborn child during an assault on the mother.…
Is abortion murder or a matter of choice is a question that has been in the mainstream of moral debates for as long as I can remember. I have always supported a women’s right to choose, however in this paper I shall look at the philosophical argument to the contrary. In this deductive look at a classic dilemma, I will first outline why killing a person is wrong and then determine at what point the “unborn” is considered to be a person. At that point, we can decide when abortion becomes murder and not a matter of a person’s free will concerning their body.…
Another troubling argument she makes is that the right to life should never outweigh a woman’s right to abortion; however, I disagree here because decision to have an abortion is context-dependent and for moral permissibility abortions must in justifiable situation. She provides an example of a woman who would have an abortion in seventh – eighth month to go to Europe trip. She says that this act of the woman will be “indecent” but it is not “immoral” (Warren 1973, 59). Considering that pregnancy term is almost near the end, the fetus is much more developed mentally and anatomically than the initial months of pregnancy. Moreover, there could potentially be a father in the picture or any other close family who may have started to value the fetus.…
In 1973, after three years of battling in court cases Roe finally won, no more appeals, no more arguing. The Supreme Court said, “that a woman’s right to an abortion fell within the right to privacy protected by the Fourteenth Amendment.” Roe finally just the justice she was fighting for, even though she had already had her baby that he was trying to have an abortion. The Supreme Court said that in first trimester the woman could do what they wanted with the unborn children in the sense of abortion or to keep the unborn children. In the second and third trimester the Supreme Court said that it's up to the state in which the woman wants the abortion. After, the first trimester a fetus is started being formed, which is when if a woman has an…
Abortion has been around since ancient times. It's an endlessly debatable subject and everybody has their own opinion. I feel that whatever your beliefs every woman should have the right to abortion.…
Abortion is the medical removal or termination of a fetus from a woman’s womb. It is an unsympathetic process that is consuming many of the world’s children by relieving adults of their responsibility of taking care of their offspring. There are several ways in which a woman can abort her baby, including, abortifacient herbs, sharpened implements, and abdominal pressure (Abortion Facts).This is a current crisis, not only in the United States, but also within the entire world due to the expansion of the total number abortions per year. According to the World Health Organization, the sum of the world’s abortions is approximately 125,000 abortions a day, which means there is 40-50 million abortions per year. Consequently, the fetus in that mother’s womb is not even given the chance or their right to live. Abortions should be illegal for the following reasons: it hurts the United States as a country, allows the fetus to have the disadvantage, causes avoidable damage to the mother, and is murder that neither doctors nor humans should accept. If something isn’t done to protect the children who are denied their lives, eventually there will be consequences that the world are unaware of and not prepared to face.…
Abortion saves lives and reduces psychological torment. With soaring rates of unintended pregnancies worldwide, a fifth of them carry out induced abortion (Bailey, 2012, p.6). Safe abortion conducted by a competent professional increase the survival of the mother and probability of carrying another pregnancy. Abortion that is safely done helps to lessen the psychological trauma, especially when the pregnancy resulted from rape. Abortion helps in three situations, during an unplanned pregnancy, when the fetus threatens the mother’s life and in a rape case.…
