Document Summary
The stand for a counselor"s social contact with client"s may be different in a large urban area than in a rural area, or between practitioners with humanist or behavioural approach. Knapp and vandecreek (2013) note that this approach challenges psychologists to consider ways to enhance their performance rather than simply avoiding client harm, as one finds with floor-based approaches. They argue that while ethical standards outline limitations, they can go further and provide inspiration to fulfill one"s highest professional potential. Rather than settling for a floor-based conceptualization of ethics, knapp and. Vandecreek (2013) advocate for an aspirational approach to ethical psychological practice. Professionals have a responsibility to minimize risk, harm and the potential of harm: beneficence: doing good for others and promoting the well-being of clients. Beneficence also includes doing good for society: justice: to be fair by giving equally to others and to treat others justly.
