Members will be informed through the ASCA Counselor and ASCA Web Page of developments in ethical thinking from related professional groups. Any ethical decision depends on our individual biases, experiences, orientation within our discipline, personality, personal values and cultural awareness. It is these personal characteristics that dominate our behavior. Such attributes create limitations within the practitioner, justifying a need to consult in an effort to gain a more comprehensive understanding of ethical issues. The ASCA Ethics Committee stands ready to assist members in understanding and applying our current ethical standards.
Members can ask for formal interpretations by completing and mailing a request to the committee.
Please contact the committee Chair or the Ethics section on the ASCA Web Page for additional information on filing such an inquiry. After hours, you may leave a voice mail message on the appropriate extension below.
