American Counseling Association
students will compare two of the American Counseling Association (ACA) ethical standards with regard to ethical assessment and describe how they are the same and how they are different. In addition, students will evaluate which codes might be challenging for them.
Furthermore, students will explain under what conditions they may refer to the ACA ethical codes in their practice of counselling in the forensic arena. In addition to the above exercise, students will provide their own list of what kinds of tests counsellors may administer and interpret as compared to psychologists (students can provide an educated guess based on readings and conduct additional research in order to provide a well-rounded response).
Lastly, students will become familiar with when to refer to other professionals for additional assessment beyond their own training and competency and make a few comments in the discussion what professionals licensed professional counsellors may have to refer clients to for additional assessment.
