This paper will also look at the initial stage and the ending stage of the group to determine the importance of ethics in each step of the group session process as well as the ending stage of individual counseling. Also the evaluation of cultural diversity among group leaders and group members was looked at to explain the level of importance cultural bias may play in ethical decision making.
