This course will focus on the professional organizations (especially AAMFT and CAMFT) that have evolved to oversee the field of counseling. In particular, we will review the ethical codes put forth by these organizations, and the California laws and regulations relevant to counselors. Ethical decision-making skills using these standards, as guidelines are applied, and professional counseling identities are developed. Students will also be introduced to the evolution of the field of counseling and the roles and functions counselors play.
