Part A:
As a human service professional, your daily life is filled with people and relationships. These relationships are never one sided. As a matter of fact, the client-human services professional relationship is always a reciprocal one.
Locate and read the following article in the Kaplan Library
After reading this article, reflect on the relationship between Steve and the counselor. Answer the following questions:
1. What are some of the things you believe that the counselor has learned from Steve? What are some of the counselor’s behaviors that may change as a result of working with Steve? Do you think that most people you come into contact with change you in some way? Explain.
2. How has Steve changed as a result of this relationship? Has Steve benefited from this relationship? Why or why not?
Part B:
Ethics are defined as “a set of moral principles and perceptions about right versus wrong and the resulting philosophy of conduct that is practiced by an individual, group, profession, or culture” (Barker, 2001, p. 159). In the field of human services you will be interacting with individuals with a variety of needs within many systems. Due to the span of diversity among individuals it is important for you to become familiar with the ethical standards as set forth for human service professionals. The following Assignment will require you to find and discuss the importance of the ethical standards as developed by the National Organization of Human Services (NOHS). A code of ethics is “an explicit statement of the values, principles, and rules of a profession, regulating the conduct of its members” (Barker, 2001, p. 84).
