Description
Summary:Providing counselling in the workplace can challenge the ethical principles on which counselling is based. Identifies a series of questions designed to focus attention on aims, outcomes, referrals, confidentiality and resources. Concludes that confronting ethical dilemmas is a continuous responsibility for counsellors. Frequently issues are managed rather than resolved. However, in confronting and managing these issues, the values underpinning organizational life can be challenged and, perhaps, changed.
