Ethical Crises
What would you do if a client in crisis-who had just lost his job-talked about wanting to plow everybody down with his car? How do we respond to our clients' needs and distress while also protecting the safety of others?
Use the ACA Code of Ethics for any information on crisis intervention or crisis response. Include the actual language from the Code, with appropriate APA citations, and discuss specifically how you would apply the ethical standard to working with this client in crisis. Include specific examples to illustrate your ideas about this potentially homicidal client.
