, Ethical, Legal, and Professional Standards in Assessment

When discussing the counseling field, there are always ethical and legal considerations,

especially surrounding assessments. As counselors, we must always remain mindful and police

ourselves. We must maintain the highest ethical and legal standards possible to provide the client

with the most professional services possible. This paper will be evaluating the ethical standards

of two scenarios as defined by Neukrug and Fawcett (2015) using the Corey, Corey, Corey, and

Callanan Ethical Decision-Making Model.

Scenario One

The situation that I chose to evaluate first is Situation One. A graduate-level mental

health professional provides interest inventories while counseling clients on career issues without

specific career development training (Neukrug & Fawcett, 2015). This clinician is performing

services outside her scope of practice; this puts the therapeutic alliance at risk by performing

services she is not trained to perform. The therapeutic relationship is based on a trusting rapport,

and this action violates that trust and runs the risk of providing the client with misinformation.

Several ethical problems in this situation violate the ACA Code of Ethics. According to the

American Counseling Association (aca) (2014) in section A.11.a, it states a counselor must avoid

sustaining counseling engagement if they cannot provide professional support; Section C.2.a

states counselors practice only within the boundaries of their competence, based on their

education, training, supervised experience, state and national professional credentials, and

appropriate professional experience; Section E.2.a Limits of Competence states counselors

should only utilize testing and assessment services for which they have received training and

certification. (American Counseling Association (aca), 2014)
