Problem:
Pierre briefly discusses confidentiality at the first group session, saying "Anything that happens here, stays here." He tells members that it is not necessary to go into detail in talking about confidentiality "because everyone in here already knows that confidentiality is a given." Pierre does not let members know that confidentiality cannot be guaranteed in his group, nor does he inform them of the limitations of confidentiality in a group setting. Pierre does not invite members to raise questions they might have about confidentiality because he is anxious for his group to start working. How do you evaluate the ethical appropriateness of Pierre's approach to discussing confidentiality in his group? What specific aspects of confidentiality would you most want to inform group members about? What potential problems, if any, do you see in the way Pierre explained confidentiality to group members? Given that confidentiality cannot be guaranteed in a group, what guidelines could you set as a group leader to help assure confidentiality? (Corey, Corey, & Corey, 2019, p. 441) What sections of the ACA 2014 Code of Ethics might apply to this case? Need Assignment Help?
