Week 5
There are several professional issues that may arise during the various stages of counseling for either the offender or you as the CJ Practitioner.
Some of those issues include:
Dealing with dual relationships as a counselor/therapist and as a CJ practitioner (Initial stage/ relationship building stage)
Managing confidentiality (Initial Stage/Relationship building stage)
Feelings of frustration, sadness or hopelessness when a client reoffends or is killed (termination stage of counseling)
There are several other professional issues that may arise during the various stages of counseling. After you have reviewed this week’s readings, select a professional issue of interest to you that may arise during the various stages of counseling and reflect on how a CJ Practitioner might address the issue in an appropriate manner.
