Question: In the workplace, counselors are often faced with ethical dilemmas and must consider how they will resolve the issues. The cases presented are scenarios that you may encounter in your professional career. Using the ACA code of ethics, consider how you would respond to the following cases.

Danielle's client, George, is extremely agitated during their session. He has a restraining order against him to protect his former girlfriend. He is entitled to parenting time with their son, but he reports that his ex has refused to allow him access to the child. He has not seen his son in weeks, and last night, he had a terrible argument with the child's mother. She has a new boyfriend, and the boyfriend feels George is a bad influence. He tells Danielle that he plans to kill his ex and her boyfriend, take the child, and disappear. He tells Danielle that he appreciates all she has done for him. What codes and guidelines (including legal cases) should Danielle consider when deciding how to address George's plans regarding his ex, her boyfriend, and his son? What are some of the complications Danielle will face when deciding her course of action?

Be sure to consider the laws and guidelines in the state of New Jersey and the relevant codes of ethics for your case; cite both in your discussion.
