Duty to Report, Warn, and Protect Case Study

Details:
Counselors sometimes face tough decisions for which there is not always a clear answer. Consider, for example, a case in which a client reports that he or she has intentions to harm another person. What course of action should the counselor take? Should the counselor warn the potential victim and ignore the principle of counselor-client confidentiality?

In cases such as this, it is imperative that counselors refer to the ACA Code of Ethics as well as to state laws, regulations, and statutes. If ethical guidelines are unclear, or if state laws, regulations, or statutes do not address the issue, counselors should consult with knowledgeable colleagues in order to make an ethically and legally sound decision.

In this paper, you will review a case study and explain the course of action you might take as a counselor to report, warn, and/or protect, based on the ACA Code of Ethics and your own state’s laws, regulations, and/or statutes.

Review the article, “Tarasoff and the Duty to Protect.” Think about the various legal cases discussed and how the outcomes of these cases may inform your practice as a counselor.

• Review the ACA Code of Ethics and consider the guidelines related to the duty to protect clients and others from harm.

Write an explanation of how you might respond to the situation presented in the case study you selected. Justify your response by citing specific ethical guidelines and state laws, regulations, and/or statutes associated with the duty to report, warn, and/or protect.
IMPORTANT: In addition to the Tarasoff article, I am also sending you a document that has comments made by other students and professors regarding this very case study. Please read them and follow the same decision they made, just word it differently. Also, be sure to make specific references to the ACA Code of Ethics.
