Under the Affordable Care Act, more patients are becoming eligible for health insurance. With the influx of patients, private practices are spending less time with patients and more time with filling out paperwork to satisfy government requirements, all with the mandated intention of improving patient care.4 With this, I worry that as a future therapist, I will not be able to give my patients the one-on-one therapy and time that they deserve. If my patients do not get the therapy they deserve, I will simply be wasting their time and will not be practicing properly under my code of

Clients who seek therapeutic help/counselling may be in a vulnerable position and feel anxious or depressed. Some people could lately experience great incident that make them feel extremely despair. (Tony Marry p.11) noted that in those periods of time individuals are more susceptible to being abused or emotionally attacked and it can be harder to recognize immoral and unethical practices. For example, when the therapist purposely extend the sessions than is needed to get more money, or is in other than professional relationship with clients. The counsellor offers time, non-judgmental attitude and fully accept clients. Therefore in some cases they may develop strong feelings towards them and perceive the therapist as a wise, powerful figure. However, if a practitioner is a member of a professional organization, it means that they are obliged to

There are a multitude of factors that a therapist must consider during the initial consultation. I will describe the actual mechanics of the consultation, the ethical considerations facing the therapist and the particular challenges of the actual consultation itself.

Working as a therapist can be exhausting, but yet, rewarding at the same time. As a therapist we deal with daily encounters of other people’s lives, issues, problems etc. Taking multiple cases of providing therapeutic interventions has an effect on the human body and the psyche. The wear and tear over time begins to haunt us without recognizing how neglectful we can be towards ourselves because our focus is for the sake of other people’s sanity. The profession is hard, and can be detrimental to professionals who do not take care of themselves. Self-care is an important aspect when working as a therapist. Our health, mental health, spiritual values, etc. should matter just as the client’s health, mental health and spiritual values matters

On September 8th, 2015, I first began interning for Dr. Dawn Cox and her staff of experienced Physical Therapists at PRANA Functional Manual Therapy in Lancaster, PA. Since day one of my lived experience, I have noted every one-on-one, patients-therapist interaction. Intermittently, I would ask the therapists “Why choose Physical Therapy as a profession?” One of the Physical Therapists conveyed that aside from the substantial benefits a job provides, it was the intangible materials that added satisfaction to it. As a student exploring the field of Physical Therapy, I have infallibly witnessed professionalism through the therapists at PRANA transparent altruism with patients, without violating unethical practices as professionals; their apposite

During my work as a medical scribe I had to sign a contract with a similar agreement. This contract was meant to teach me that my work was to assist the patient that came into the hospital and to have honor for the duties I was to be performing. Pride in the job I was performing and for those I wished to help allowed me to sustain this agreement and refrain from putting the personal information of patient’s in any unauthorized hands. My hope to become a good physician and to maintain integrity in my work was tested during my scribing days and this allowed me to work and uphold the professionalism that I possessed during work and in my everyday life.

On September 8th, 2015, I first began interning for Dr. Dawn Cox and her staff of experienced Physical Therapists at PRANA Functional Manual Therapy in Lancaster, PA as a Physical Therapy Aide. Intermittently, on the first day of my internship, I would ask the therapists “Why choose Physical Therapy as a profession?” One of the Physical Therapists conveyed that aside from the substantial benefits a job provides, it was the intangible materials that gave the profession a meaning. As a student exploring the field of Physical Therapy, I have infallibly witnessed professionalism at PRANA and other Physical Therapy facilities through the therapists’ altruism towards patients -without violating ethical practices as professionals; their apposite use of communication with each individual at the workplace; and their sense of accountability when things go unforeseen.

Licensed professional counselors have a unique occupation in that not only do they interact with their clients on a highly personal level, but they also momentarily share their client’s burdens, worries, and concerns. This vicarious aspect of counseling creates the possibility for a counselor to continue sharing the client’s troubles long after the session has ended. According to Norcross and Guy (2007), “The person of the psychotherapist is inextricably intertwined with treatment success” (p. 2) meaning that if we desire more positive outcomes than negative ones we must figuratively become one with our clients. Due to this fact, “self-care is not simply a personal matter but also an ethical necessity, a moral imperative” (p. 6). If we fail to leave work at work at the day’s end, then other facets of our lives are in jeopardy of becoming tainted.

Summary of Case: As a licensed counselor, you are seeing a client that is self-employed electrician. The counselor diagnosed the client with an adjustment disorder with depressed mood and the client will be seeing for the next 6 months. The client notifies the counselor that his business is running slow and cannot afford the session fees. The counselor offers a deal to the client (to rewire the counselor house as payment for the sessions).

Another beneficial theme of the book is values and the helping profession. A therapists’ values are part of who they are and it is difficult to ignore them. A complicated issue counselors have is keeping their values from influencing the client and realizing that their task is to help clients identify their beliefs and apply their values to solving problems (Corey et al., 2010). A good point made in this book was for a therapist and client to clarify their values. This way they both have an understanding of each other’s values and could be able to recognize when value imposition is occurring. If value conflicts are occurring during therapy it would be a good idea to refer the client to someone who can better understand where the client is coming from. If referral is the only way, then perhaps the counselor should explore their values and involvement in therapy.
