Each of these documents demonstrates a clear understanding of ethical and unethical behavior to engage in when treating clients. Part I consisted of a case study analysis with Association for Applied Sport Psychology (AASP) ethical codes and theoretical based ethical decision making model application. Part II incorporated American Counseling Association (ACA) ethical codes to view the case study from a mental health counseling lens. Part III concluded the analysis with suggested resolutions to the specific topics covered in each ethical code violated and a summary of the findings. Having reviewed ethical codes previously in undergraduate learning, research of the ethical codes for AASP and ACA for these artifacts was a familiar area of knowledge.
Professional Development Plan
A review through the process of licensure and progress necessary to be made when pursuing to become a Certified Mental Performance Consultant (CMPC). Going into more detail of the certification requirements and supervision hours for the CMPC explained the depth of work needed to become a competent consultant. A conscious awareness of the ethical counselor-client relationship has been established and understanding when it is appropriate to consult with a colleague and/or refer the client to another consultant. Improvements to the original artifact would involve a review for grammatical errors and structure re-arrangement, along with updated changes to the CMPC application process.
