Every state has different rules and regulations for children’s, hence “the counselor must be informed of the state laws as well as school board policy and the standard of behavior expected of counselors in the local community” (Ledyard 1998).

Just like you, Gersten’s suggestion to review the client’s existing records during the integration phase of the assessment exercise to avoid the priming effect in order to have a more objective assessment of a client, is also one of my “aha” moments. This confirmed my personal belief to get to know someone personally first and not listen to other people when I am meeting a person or when a new co-worker starts at work, for example. The readings reiterated the importance of the counsellor’s ability to respond sensitively to patients needs, maintain open and clear communication, and communicate empathy and openness, as these are factors in establishing a therapeutic relationship with a client.

Ethical Issues in Group Therapy: Involuntary Membership Group psychotherapy is often voluntary, but sometimes members have been mandated by the court or other authorities to participate. Participation is usually easier for voluntary members since it doesn’t have the added psychological barrier of being forced to attend. For this reason, mandated members have difficulty with participation and are sometimes perceived as reluctant (Roth, 2005). It is important that members understand the dynamics within the group and what goals and processes are involved in being a part of that group. This essay will focus on the strategies of assisting group leaders and group members in engaging in the process of psychotherapy by providing informed consent, learning
However, this situation could be daunting. It would take a counselor with patience and persistence. This method of treatment is interesting because it utilizes meekness and understanding instead of confrontation to change how the client views the counselor or himself or herself (McMinn, 2011).
