Ethical Issues in Counseling : In 15 pages the author discusses that it is important for the counselor to leave behind personal bias and opinion when in a counseling session. "It is important to leave behind personal bias and opinion when counseling. From a Christian counseling perspective, it is important to help the client and not let personal opinion or bias or religious affiliation cloud judgement. It is never acceptable behavior to allow cultural, ethnic, or sexual bias to enter the counseling session. Although the Christian counselor is in great demand, he/she is at risk for placing his religious beliefs and moral standard on the client. Counseling is a field on which many individuals, both secular and Christian, rely. The counselor must be ready to face difficult situations in which he/she is in total disagreement with the client's lifestyle, religious beliefs, ethnicity, or culture, and still be able to do his/her job, and do it to the best of his/her ability."
