Not only is this number extremely high, it only accounts to one country; Imagine the number across all 136 countries scattered across the Earth.

Some of the circumstances that can affect a client’s treatment could be lack of knowledge by the professional and the unwillingness to admit limits to one’s own personal expertise. The professional will work with a wide array of clients from different genders, ethnicities, and sexual orientation, thus being culturally competent is a must in this line of work. The practioner must be able to see the client as an individual, demonstrate self-awareness, and advocate for all clients. Case manager’s are working directly with their clients therefore it is critical for them to be able to show skills of rapport- building to hopefully break down barriers and negative attitudes from the clients. Some of the barriers that are not in the case manager’s control would be the amount of funds that are available to the practioner to aid the clients.

Counselors may allow their own personal experiences and histories to cloud the direction of their treatment due to personal conflicts in their lives. Counselors often ignore the feelings that their clients create in them. In order for me to deal with this type of situation ethically and effectively I would first have to accept the countertransference that is at hand, and seek personal therapy. Therapy will enable me to share my countertransference concerns, and become aware when they are taking place. It is important that I acknowledge these feelings and deal with them right away before it can effect therapy with the client, by seeking personal therapy or consolidation with a colleague or professional.
