Establishing Confidentiality Case Study

Trust is an essential factor in the helping process. Without it, clients will not feel free to share their most intimate thoughts and feelings. They will not be completely honest or forthcoming in conversations which will hinder the professional’s ability to truly help the client. For this reason, the promise of confidentiality becomes critical to the process. It is the “secret keeping duty” all helping professionals have an ethical obligation to observe (Younggren & Harris, p.589). It protects the client’s right to privacy and fosters an atmosphere in which one feels safe, facilitating trust and allowing one to feel comfortable enough to share their inner most feelings and thoughts. Most helping professionals agree that

The way the counsellor approaches the client in this infant stage is vital for the client to gain trust and has the willingness to open up in later sessions. Some clients may just rush into what is troubling them or say nothing, in both cases the counsellor will need to be patient, observe and listen to what is being said as there will be vital information given and without understanding this it could damage

The nature of therapist-client relationship and understanding the therapist’s role is vital in making sure that the client’s rights are not jeopardized. The client must be willing to trust the therapist. The therapist can earn the trust of the client will confidentiality guidelines that are established by requiring informed consent. The therapist-client relationship is based on counseling approach as well as relationship with the client. The therapist’s role is to understand the client’s needs, help them get their needs met mentally, and to develop the proper plan that fits the client’s needs. The therapist must fully

Allowing for our ethical codes of conduct, if the client is someone we feel we can proceed with, then as always, the first stage would be to develop a good rapport and gain the clients trust to develop an honest and open relationship with them. The client centred approach as always is the best method for this – to put the client at ease in a non-judgemental space where they can express their emotions and explore what it is they want to achieve with therapy. In giving the therapist an

When we as human beings are born into this world, there are things that we have control over, and other things that we have no say in. We control what we do with our lives, what schools to attend, what activities to be a part of, and who we marry, for example. This seems to be quite fair, and for the most part, we take it for granted. While we do have these kinds of freedoms, there are other aspects of life that we have no control over. One thing that we are born into, is our social class. No matter who you are, there is a social class that you fall into, and you really have no say in it. The one social class that seems to be the most populated is the middle, or working class. These people usually classify

In 1958, a man named George Mowry explains s economic, social, and political divisions of the progressivism movement. The progressivism movement ties in a lot with our society today and shows how history does indeed repeat itself. Mowry describes the good, and bad of progressivism, but emphasizes the bad. Mowry is really trying to exhibit the differences between capitalism and socialism in his essay and explain why progressivism is not good for the well being and future of America, which can be proven today but our economic instability and division as a nation. More importantly however Mowry displays how progressives try to create, “heaven on earth” by their moral actions.

I would hold the client’s information as opposed to containing it. According to research by Dumbo and Gray, there is an important distinction between holding a clients information and containing it and important steps in self-care and spirituality that can help with restoring a clinician from trauma experiences in that relationship. If I had a client who came to me with illness, and various other conditions I would listen carefully and have open body language, support the client and contain my own emotions that might be coming up for me in order to help the client process their experience (Dumbo & Gray, 4). I would refraining from “taking on” the clients experiences. I would separate myself from the experience and refrain from talking about the client excessively and taking the helping relationship into other aspects of my private life. Similarly to my Pastor, when engaging in a helping relationship similar to the one we were in, I would ensure to practice self care. A few ways I would go about doing this is I would maintain my own spiritual practice: meditating, playing musical instruments, praying, and singing. Would do this to ensure that I was not carrying any vicarious trauma or moral

In this essay I am going to look at the importance and purpose of the initial consultation between the client and the therapist and what happens during this preliminary session. I will also cover the ethical definitions that will need to be explored and established, to ensure the safety and wellbeing of both the client and therapist.

Some may define the American middle class as a person that make 35,000 to 100,000 dollars a year. Over 88 percent of Americans say that they are middle class, but research shows otherwise. The role of the middle class is starting to disappear, due to less wages and a higher cost of living (Boushey & Hersh, 2012). The way of life for Americans are to work hard to gain there piece of the pie. The American dream is just that a dream, with the once highest middle class rate in the world. The American middle is now on the down slope and may no longer exist.

Thesis statement: The upper middle class residents of South End proudly expressed their love for diversity in the community yet romanticized being helpful by controlling and reconstructing the original residential norms. In condemning the routinely behaviors and common establishments in the neighborhood, it became evident that their true intent was to control the population.

My client is vulnerable and in need have trust in our therapeutic relationship. Heather is generally not an outspoken person therefore I do not take her openness in my sessions for granted. Heather has expressed how much our sessions have helped her so far and that they have become an important part of her life.

John Jones, CPA has been in the business of preparing tax returns for 20 years. He recently compiled a list of specific taxpayer information which could be used to contact taxpayers on the list to provide tax, general business or economic information for education purposes. Mr. Jones compiled this list without the consent of his clients. In this paper, we will discuss if Mr. Jones violated the disclosure of client confidentiality under SEC 7216.gob.

Understanding the counseling session from the client’s perspective is a very important aspect in the development of a therapeutic relationship. A clinician must be an excellent listener, while being to pay attention to the client’s body language, affect and tone. The dynamics in the counseling session that is beneficial to the client include the recognition of the pain that the client is feeling. The detrimental part of this includes a misunderstanding of the real issues, a lack of consideration of the cultural aspects of the client, and a lack of clinical experience or listening skills. In this presentation, we will discuss the positive and negative aspects of the counseling session from the client’s perspective which

I have come to understand that a big part of what has shaped my life has been my class. I would identify myself as middle-class, due largely to my parents careers. Being middle class has come with many benefits, including the accessibility of a college degree due to my middle class status. It has only been through taking this Introduction to Women’s Studies class that I have had to reflect heavily on my privileges. Being a middle class citizen also affects how people see me as I move through the world. This status is not something that I have worked for; instead, it is something my parents have given me. This speaks to the unjustness that exists in American society. I have done nothing to deserve my status of middle-class, only being born

While we want to build a close connection with our clients we need to pay attention to boundaries. This is a complex situation where we need to create limits that are not seen as barriers. Clients need to feel a strong support. At the same time if boundaries are poorly defined that can lead to a slippery slope. We need to talk about our relationship when we notice that the client or ourselves are on the slippery slope. This frontier will help us stay away from unethical behaviors. Boundaries are providing safety for clients. In the first session we addressed the informed consent, the way we will work. That matter should be readdressed later on in the process if needed. Nowadays we also need to talk about social media and make sure that right from the beginning our client is aware of our ethical boundaries. This prevention can only help the client not feeling betrayed as he already knows the rules. I hope I will be able to create that quick connection with my clients alongside letting them know that there are boundaries. This relationship has to be carefully monitored in order for each party to be able to work together along with not being harmed. There are different ways to deal with boundaries crossing. I do not believe in self-disclosure, but it can be seen has a boundary crossing if used inappropriately. It needs to be done in the service of the client. That is something that can be forgotten easily. Self-disclosure that you may use to connect with your client may be
