In your post, identify the specific ethical issue(s) and discuss why the group counselor in that situation acted either unethically. Additionally, discuss the way(s) in which the group counselor should have acted that would be more appropriate with regards to the ethical guidelines.
1. The leader does not explain a technique that the group will be using and does not give the members a choice whether or not to participate in this technique.

3. The leader contacts the parents of an adolescent girl who discloses her conflicts over having an abortion or keeping her child without first getting her permission.
