Ethics in a Multicultural Context
Sherlon P. Pack-Brown - Bowling Green State University, USA
Carmen B. Williams - University of Colorado at Denver, USA
Multicultural counselors often face a moral dilemma: should they follow the ethical guidelines of their professional counseling organization at the expense of a client or take the appropriate action while bending official standards?
Ethics in a Multicultural Context provides strategies for critical decision making in multicultural settings. Utilizing extensive case studies, authors Sherlon P. Pack-Brown and Carmen Braun Williams present a comprehensive exploration of counseling ethics in a cultural context. Examining the implications and consequences of competent multicultural counseling, they present ethical dilemmas arising in face-to-face counseling interactions, supervisory relationships, and educational situations.
By placing ethical issues in a cultural context, this inclusive volume provides readers with the practical tools to address complex questions such as
- Are dual relationships ethical?
- How do you handle unintentional cultural bias?
- Can you barter for counseling services?
- How do you manage a client's welfare?
- Does counseling foster dependence?
- What are the boundaries of competence?
Ethics in a Multicultural Context encourages critical thinking rather than passive acceptance. The authors identify culturally troublesome issues, encourage culturally appropriate interpretations of existing ethical guidelines, and promote ethical behavior in multicultural contexts.
