Legal and Ethical Aspects of Counseling.
Taylor, Jane A.; And Others
These five mazes, with instruction manual, are designed to facilitate counselors' understanding of potential consequences and their ability to make appropriate legal and ethical decisions as helping professionals. Each maze consists of a problem situation similar to ones that might actually occur in a counseling situation, followed by several possible choices of action. The students, working in dyads, choose a course of action, then are presented with the consequences and required to make other choices based on the new situation, and so on. This format requires the students to explore many possible ways of handling a situation, and learn about the legal and ethical implications of each. The materials are useful for practicing counselors as well as counselor educators. The instruction manual presents a rationale, objectives, administrative procedures, and suggestions for processing.
