Ethics is the moral judgment and actions used in interactions with cultures and society and its focus is on the well-being of the client. Ethics are defined by Remley and Herlihy (2010) in the counseling field as “behavioral and professional interactions” (p.4). Consultants rely on and are guided by codes of ethics. The role and relevance of ethical principles, the ACA and AMHCA Code of Ethics are the basis of the counseling profession. Without them this career would have no guidance on how professionals should act and react professionally in all the different situations faced in this field. However, there are some cases where professionals must rely on the Act. The Law differs from moral principles and the Code of Ethics and focuses on the legal perspective to protect the professional. The law is defined by Remley and Herlihy (2010) as “general or specific regarding both what is required and what is permitted of individuals coming from a government agency” (p.4). An important example is Tarasoff and the Duty to Protect, a law created after the case involving a college student, Tatiana Tarasoff, and her boyfriend. Tarasoff's parents are suing the psychotherapists, claiming the professionals should have warned the student. Because of this case, the law has raised strong concern that the confidentiality that professionals are supposed to follow under the ACA and AMHCA Code of Ethics should be violated when a problem arises that may affect a third party in the situation. How the AMHCA refers to confidentiality as “a right afforded to all clients of mental health counseling services. From the beginning of the counseling relationship, mental health counselors inform clients of these rights even in the middle of the paper. Even following a guideline indicated by Saddler (1986 - retrieved from Forester-Miller, H. ., & Davis, T., 1996) consultants should apply the three tests in their practice. The fairness test which determines whether you would treat others equally in this situation, the publicity test, whether you would want your behavior known and reported to the public, and the universality test which asks whether you would administer the same action to another consultant in the same situation. With this in mind, the professional must believe that, having achieved all this, he will be able to carry out the career with an exceptional background and knowledge on how and when to act and make the social and personal changes that are based on the profession and always keeping in mind what is most beneficial to the patient in resolving and responding to his or her ethical conflicts.
