Case Study

Review the Case Studies from Worden (2009) .  Select one case study and assign 1 2 cultural characteristics to the individuals involved in the case.  For example, you could determine that the first person mentioned in the case study is an immigrant from Latvia, the deceased person was LGBTIC, or that the counselor is African American.  This is a good opportunity to potentially explore cultural characteristics to which you have not had much exposure.
Next, identify the potential ethical and cultural considerations in the case.  Ground your considerations in the ACA Code of Ethics (2014) and in current scholarly literature.  How would these considerations impact the work you would do with the client(s)?
