use the AACC code of ethics found in Clinton and Ohlschlager (2002) to answer the following questions.
What are some ethical red flags in the chosen scenario?
Has the counselor already acted in any way that is unethical?
Was there anything that should have been done differently to avoid the ethical breaches?
Ethically speaking, what should be the counselor’s next steps?
Provide the code of ethics section number (ex: 1-122) where applicable. Also, share your personal definition of ethics.
Scenario 1
Anne, a 16-year old girl, has been coming to see a counselor once a week for about 2 months now. Her family asked the counselor to work with her because they noticed she had not been eating as she normally did. Anne does appear underweight and freely admits that she is struggling with anorexia. The counselor was hesitant when she took the case because, (1) she had never worked with individuals who had struggled with eating disorders before and, (2) she had minimal education in this area. The client is also having outbursts of anger, and her grades in school are suffering. In her last session with the counselor, Anne admitted to the counselor that she had been hearing voices lately that were telling her to hurt herself and that her anorexia had gotten much worse.
