Legal and Ethical Issues in Counseling Homosexual Clients

Begin a respectful and scholarly discussion based on the questions posed in the Commentary section of the court case excerpt. Address each question as if they were posed to a social worker.

Also consider how NASW Code Ethics would direct professional behavior. Since this topic can be a "hot topic," I want to make sure to remind everyone about profession etiquette despite your personal position on this issue.

As you answer the questions in the court case, please be aware that your answer to the question that asks, "To what degree protect you from an ethical or legal violation?" should include how the NASW can help protect you from a legal or ethical violation.
