Week 5 Assignment Template Item Description Identify at least three current or potential legal issues that may impact the client's treatment in counseling. 1. Informed Consent: Obtaining informed consent from the child's legal guardian is crucial before initiating counseling services. Since the child is a minor, their parent or guardian must consent to treatment. 2. Confidentiality and Privacy: Maintaining confidentiality and privacy is essential when counseling a child. There are legal exceptions to confidentiality, especially when the child's or others' safety is at risk. Counselors need to be aware of mandatory reporting laws regarding child abuse, neglect, or other situations that pose a threat to the child's well-being. 3. Parental Rights and Involvement: Involving both parents in the counseling process, when appropriate and feasible, can be challenging if they have disputes or disagreements regarding the child's treatment. Counselors must navigate these legal complexities while prioritizing the child's best interests. 2
Week 5 Assignment Template Item Description Identify at least three current or potential ethical issues that may impact the client's treatment in counseling. 1. Competence and Scope of Practice: One ethical issue is ensuring that the counselor has the necessary competence and training to work effectively with young children with separation anxiety disorder. Counselors must possess the appropriate knowledge, skills, and experience to address the unique needs of this population. Counselors need to recognize the limits of their competence and only provide services within their scope of practice. 2. Child and Parental Autonomy: Ethical considerations arise regarding the child's autonomy and their parents or guardians. Counselors must balance the child's right to self-determination with the parental authority to make decisions on behalf of the child. Informed consent processes should include age-appropriate information for the child and detailed discussions with the parents or guardians about treatment options, goals, and potential risks and benefits. 3. Confidentiality and Privacy: Ethical dilemmas may arise when balancing the child's right to privacy with the duty to disclose information when there is a risk of harm to the child or others. Counselors should carefully consider when and how to involve parents or guardians in discussions about the child's progress and treatment while respecting the child's confidentiality to the extent possible.
