Prerequisite(s): COUN 552, COUN 577, COUN 584, COUN 588 and COUN 595; and COUN 624 may be taken as prerequisite or corequisite. This course builds on information learned in COUN 552 (Introduction to Professional and Ethical Issues in Counseling) and is to be taken concurrently or after completing COUN 624 (Practicum). The focus is on philosophical underpinnings of professional ethics, application of ethical decision-making theories and processes, and analysis of more complex ethical and legal cases and consideration of typical moral-ethical dilemmas faced by counselors than were addressed in COUN 552. Actual cases are used in focusing on ethical-legal responsibilities and decision-making.
