HISTORICAL CONTEXT OF COUNSELING ETHICSHISTORY OF COUNSELING IN THE UNITED STATESModern psychology began with the work of Sigmund Freud in the 1. RnHEZ/x360--2H.jpg' alt='Environmental Ethics Issues And Possible Solutions Pdf' title='Environmental Ethics Issues And Possible Solutions Pdf' />Vienna. By the early and mid 2. Sigmund Freuds psychoanalytical theories were being challenged, most notably by American psychologist Carl Rogers. While Freud examined the effects of the unconscious mind upon patients, Rogers work focused on environmental factors, the patients experience in the world, and the person centered approach 5. It was during this same time period that advanced education in medicine and certification was becoming required for psychoanalysts, because in the United States, analysis of the mind was viewed as a medical endeavor 5. Frank Parsons, often called the father of vocational guidance, had established the new field of career counseling between the years 1. Rogers borrowed Parsons label, counselor, and extended it to individuals who were educated in and practiced behavioral health both outside of the field of medicine and toward different goals than medical psychoanalysis 5. This helped remove some of the prejudice against non medically trained professionals and shifted the emphasis away from treating clients purely as medical patients to helping individuals and groups realize their developmental goals. The relatively new field of counseling that stemmed from Parsons vocational guidance movement and Rogers work was of particular value during World War II, when the need for vocational training became acute, and after the war, when a large number of people were integrating back into a society that had become profoundly different 5. Some returned with psychological problems, and many were left with disabilities. Many more had come home to a country where they could not find jobs. Around this time, the American Psychological Association APA and the Veterans Administration VA both formed counseling psychology branches. The post war era was a defining period because the need for trained professionals was so great, and counselors were increasingly seen as critical human service providers in the fields of psychology and employment services. Guidance counseling, with a focus on educational and career advancement, was still seen as a somewhat separate profession. Today, each branch of counseling is considered a practical application of psychology because the focus on human development and wellness issues deals directly with strategies to enable personal and family growth, career development, and life enhancement 5. In addition, counselors advocate for patients and clients and connect them to services. Ethics have been discussed in various arenas since ancient. The ethics that most Western counselors are familiar with are derivatives of the. Greek philosophers such as Socrates, Plato, and most. Aristotle, in the 5th century B. C. E. Virtue ethics were thought to be a way to make. The word ethics. has evolved from the ancient Greek word ethikos, meaning. The ability to engage. The action will be viewed by others who can determine that the decision maker is. The community will. The virtues i. e., values of a particular society are based on what has been deemed important to that society for example, liberty and justice are among the most important American values. It could be said that one who upholds these values with the sole intention of being virtuous is acting in a righteous way according to Aristotelian virtue ethics 5. In other words, virtues are values, and being virtuous is acting ethically. It must be acknowledged that not all societies have similar values and not all subgroups or individuals in a society have values similar to the mainstream. Therefore, codes of ethics must be developed to unify, guide, and protect individuals belonging to a group or institution and to protect the institution itself. A familiar historical code of ethics, the Hippocratic Oath, also comes from Greece during the same time period as Aristotles philosophies and embodies the values of ancient Greek ethics. A few of the oaths ethical principles, translated from the original text and listed here, relate to specific counseling ethical principles that will be discussed later in this course 5. I will use those dietary regimens which will benefit my patients according to my greatest ability and judgment, and I will do no harm or injustice to them. Ethical principles of beneficence and nonmaleficenceI will not use the knife, even upon those suffering from stones, but I will leave this to those who are trained in this craft. Ethical principle of competenceInto whatever homes I go, I will enter them for the benefit of the sick, avoiding any voluntary act of impropriety or corruption, including the seduction of women or men, whether they are free men or slaves. Ethical principle of maintaining appropriate relationshipsWhatever I see or hear in the lives of my patients, whether in connection with my professional practice or not, which ought not to be spoken of outside, I will keep secret, as considering all such things to be private. Ethical principles of confidentiality, trust, and privacyAlthough Hippocrates wrote this oath roughly 2,5. This is likely due to the fact that the Hippocratic Oath is based on principles that are universally applicable. Because Aristotelian virtue ethics can be adapted to fit any society or institution by reprioritizing the values to achieve positive end goals congruent with normal community values, many offshoots of virtue ethics exist. With the rise of Christianity in the Middle Ages came theological ethical systems derived from the Aristotelian notion of virtue ethics. St. Augustine, in the 4th century C. E., put forth the idea that a relationship with and love of God, in addition to acting from virtue, leads to happiness 5. In the 1. 3th century C. E., St. Thomas Aquinas developed another Christian system of ethics by simply adding the values of faith, hope, and charity to the established virtues of Aristotelian ethics 5.

It should be understood that other ethical systems have contributed to Western philosophies and have shaped modern ethics for example, one of the traditional Asian ethical systems, Confucian ethics, is very similar to Aristotelian ethics with an added emphasis on obligations to others 5. Prior to the 1. 96. Patients readily acquiesced health decisions to their physicians because they were regarded almost as family. What drove this resolve of patients to acquiesce their medical care and treatment decisions to their physicians David Rothman, as discussed in his book Strangers at the Bedside A History of How Law and Bioethics Transformed Medical Decision Making, believes physicians were given such latitude by their patients because they were well known and trusted by their patients and the community in which they practiced 5. There were no specialists. One physician took care of a patient and family for a lifetime. The frontier physician often knew the patient from birth to adulthood, made house calls, and was a family friend who knew best what the patient should do with a healthcare concern 5. Since the 1. 96. 0s, physicians have become strangers to their patients, largely due to three factors.
