Reference no: EM1357922

From case below:

-As the supervisor of this counselor trainee, what are your immediate legal and ethical concerns in this case?

-what you would view as your primary responsibilities to the client, as well as to the counselor trainee.

-What are the counselor trainee's responsibilities in this case? Summarize your state laws and the relevant ethical standards that would help you understand the issues in this case.

-what steps could be taken to resolve them.

Case:

Imagine that you are the supervisor of a counselor trainee who is working with a 16-year-old pregnant girl. The client is frightened and confused, and does not want to tell her parents or her 17-year-old boyfriend that she is pregnant until she can decide what she wants to do. She begs the counselor trainee to keep this information confidential. She is extremely distraught and says she's thought about suicide, although she has no immediate plans.

The counselor trainee has strong feelings against abortion and says he is struggling to be "neutral" in this case. He has never worked with a suicidal client before, although he has developed a very good working relationship with this girl and does not believe she would actually make an attempt.
