Christian Counseling Ethics: A Handbook for Therapists, Pastors and Counselors

The ethical questions that need to be explored fall under several areas. Competence - Are you qualified professionally and personally to provide the services you are offering? Confidentiality - Do you recognize circumstances that could endanger your ability to maintain confidentiality? Multiple Relationships - What are the dangers of counseling people whom you are relating to in other contexts? Public Statements - How do you respond to questions about clients? Third Parties - How do you handle requests for services from a person or organization related to a client - a parent, a court, a business? Documentation - What kinds of written records are appropriate? State and federal codes, professional association statements and denominational guidelines have been drawn up to address such ethical issues. In this book you'll find key professional guidelines compiled and interpreted in light of Christianity.
