Recommended: Values important in counseling

Moving forward, according to our class textbook value “pertains to beliefs and attitudes that provide direction to everyday living” (Corey, et al., 2015, p. 12). As learned through my peers, it is important for me to have a present awareness of the probable moments when counter transference may be triggered to the point where I may even try to impose my beliefs on a client.
Based on my cultural origins, some pressing values exist. Unconditional love is on the forefront. In my perspective, Christianity revolves around accepting God’s unconditional love and extending it towards others. Within situations where people feel no sense of self-worth, part of me will want to reach out to them, with an advice giving approach, to communicate God’s …show more content…

An additional scenario within the therapeutic setting where I may be more tempted to push this value of unconditional love, would be in discussing disciplinary approaches amongst various cultural groups. For example, perhaps in some homes, or cultural norms, spanking is an acceptable form of punishment. Maybe yelling is a natural reactionary form of communication. While there may not be abuse involved, discipline within a context that is accepted within one culture, may make me uncomfortable. Gaining an understanding around the norms of parenting, as well as expressions of punishment methods will be important research. What I may view as …show more content…

When someone questions my integrity, and I truly care about them, or the subject they are questioning me about, it can anger and or hurt me deeply. Resulting in a defensive temptation to try and fix things through justifying actions. What will happen if a client did question my integrity, perhaps out of transference? If a client projects this, will I speak out defensively to bring clarification to the situation? Will I always be able to operate in a way that is honest and of highest integrity, even when it requires making a tough, or unpopular call? What if a colleague is acting with a lack of integrity? Will I have the courage to follow through ethically, confronting or reporting them? What is a client has a serious lack of integrity in their life choices, will I try to convert them to embracing a more integrity focused lifestyle, even if that information is not welcome by the client at the time? With clients, being neutral in my approach, even if they are acting out with a lack of integrity, will need to be a practiced self-discipline in order to avoid being

In the memoir, The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls, the Walls family is considered homeless and they are constantly moving from place to place. They constantly find themselves either with a somewhat decent amount of money or at times, no money at all.

C.S. Lewis once said that “Integrity is doing the right thing even when no one is watching.” While reading Calvin Coolidge’s Senate Speech, it was this quote that lingered in my mind most prominently. Integrity is a major value that is discussed throughout Coolidge’s speech and a value that is becoming increasingly relevant as the world continues to grow, technology increases, and society becomes more corrupt. Integrity, in itself is a very important quality that a public servant must possess, in order to be an effective leader and in order to navigate through the trials and difficulties of modern day society. Calvin Coolidge specifically discusses these values when he talks about “Doing the day’s work.”

The main point Judge Teague emphasized was that as social workers, we must have integrity. Integrity, as defined by the National Association of Social Workers’ Code of Ethics (2008), means to act in a manner coherent to the mission, ethical standards, and praxes of the social work profession. “Be as honest as you can be.

We should also avoid impressing our own philosophies on clients. We also must not attempt the egotistical and self-defeating task of guiding men and women without an ever-growing, flexible, rich system of values of our own. In my personal opinion, no individual’s philosophy is suitable for another individual. A life perspective which rejects or does not incorporate the basic universal values is not an acceptable or practical philosophy for presence in a society. “A wise man’s sharing of a philosophy of life.

Choosing what is right over what is fun, fast or easy, and choosing to practice our values rather than simply professing them. Given the real definition of integrity, we recognize that it is actually extremely difficult to be in integrity 100% of the time.
