Discuss the ethical issues involved in this situation, describe your options for how to proceed, and identify the option(s) you would choose.
You are in an agency setting in which your supervision consists
of a weekly staff meeting. At these meetings, agency policies,
procedures, and other administrative issues are discussed. You are
uneasy with this situation because you believe that the true
clinical supervision would help you improve your counseling skills
and your current work with clients. You are also aware that you
need a minimum number of documented hours of clinical supervision
in order to obtain your independent counseling license, and you
wonder if your supervisor’s brief notes about “staffing cases” as
the activity in these staff meetings are sufficient documentation.
Discuss the ethical issues involved in this situation, describe
your options for how to proceed, and identify the option(s) you
would choose. Explain your reasoning.
