These are courses I generally
teach at the graduate level in our Counselling Program. The associated
course outlines beginning to reflect the post-structuralist approach that
I prefer. At this time there are links to some course outlines but I have
not yet transferred them to a .PDF format.
EDUC
50D3 –Professional Issues in Counselling. This course examines professional, legal, ethical and
diversity issues related to practice and research in counselling. Personal beliefs, values and biases
will be examined along with professional codes and standards of practice.
Ethical dilemmas and complex hypothetical scenarios will be analyzed in
light of ethical principles under which counsellors work. Applications of ethics codes to
specific areas of practice and specific populations will be reviewed.
Students will integrate material from lectures, readings, class
discussions and presentations, analyses of ethical case studies and
vignettes, and guided independent research.
