Problem
Scenario: David is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) and a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) working for a family counseling center. Steve, one of his adult clients, would like to begin couples counseling with his wife.
Task: What ethical matters should David consider before beginning to see Steve and his wife? What special issues of confidentiality may arise in the case? How should David address these issues? How might differences in personal values and gender/cultural issues create ethical dilemmas in this case?
