DQ1: Is it ethical to exaggerate the symptoms or even the diagnosis of a client if this is the only way of obtaining reimbursement for desperately needed treatment services for a client?

Hello Professor Krupp & Class

Yes, it is unethical to exaggerate the symptoms or even the diagnosis of a client if this is the only way of obtaining reimbursement for desperately needed treatment services for a client. A psychologist should be clear from the start about who the client is and what their role is. When a client is not benefitting from therapy it is the therapist ethical duty to discontinue treatment with the explanation that the current treatment is no longer appropriate and suggests to the client alternative service providers to address the feeling of rejection and resolve any practice issues. ACA Code of Ethics.7.c states that counselors do not use techniques/procedures/modalities when substantial evidence suggests harm, even if services are requested. Counselors may refrain from making and or reporting a diagnosis if they believe that it would cause harm to the client or others. Counselors should carefully consider both their positive and negative implications of a diagnosis. According to the ACA Code of Ethics A.1.a. The primary responsibility of counselors is to respect the dignity and promote the welfare of clients
