“…As the case illustrates, counselors should not be too quick to refer when faced with value conflicts. Shiles () challenged the assumption that referral is always an appropriate option, expressing concern about “the glorification of referral in the psychological literature” (p. 147). We believe Shiles raised a valid point.…”

A growing number of legal and ethical cases have involved value conflicts between counselors, or counselors‐in‐training, and their clients. The authors examine considerations that professional counselors are encouraged to take into account when value conflicts arise within the therapeutic relationship. The authors present a strategy known as ethical bracketing and the Counselor Values‐Based Conflict Model as tools to use when facing conflicts that arise between personal and professional values.

“…At least two separate lines of scholarly analysis are creating terminology and theory well suited to make this case, especially within a moral framework that is highly sensitized to concerns pertaining to harm. First, the concept of discriminatory referrals is being forwarded as a means of justifying the prohibition of values-based referrals of LGB clients (Bieschke & Mintz, 2012;Shiles, 2009). Based on the nondiscrimination mandates for therapist's work-related activities, Shiles believes it to be unethical to refer the client due to sexual orientation.…”

[provide] ... a potential loophole to allow discriminatory practices in the field of psychology" (p. 147).…”

Statement articulates expectations for trainees, trainers, and the training environment intended to foster the development of trainees' competences to provide services to individuals who represent a challenge to trainees' worldviews. As the courts and state legislatures move in the direction of dictating training for psychologists, we make the case that a training statement akin to the originally published Values Statement has tremendous utility in today's climate. To illustrate its utility, examples of how it has been used in counseling psychology academic training programs are provided. We argue that professional psychology is in danger of losing its professional autonomy in regard to setting standards for the profession and the academic freedom to determine the appropriate training for our students. We recommend (a) clarifying ethical mandates regarding working with demographically diverse clients; (b) defining the professional competencies that emanate from these ethical mandates; and (c) adopting a uniform training statement that is applicable to all of professional psychology.
