Question by kenbfos: Counseling ethics question/topic?
I have a counseling presentations to do. The class is counseling ethics. We have to pic a topic in ethics and talk about it for 30 mins. My professor is looking for original topics or topics that are not boring.
Here is a list of topics already used:
Marriage and family counseling, School Counseling, University-Level Counseling centers, Residential programs, Career Counseling, Rehabilitation counseling, Group counseling, Addiction Counseling, Counseling offenders, Counseling the mentally ill consumer, Supervision, Health Care settings. So does anyone have anything other ethical dilemmas that come up in the counseling world that I can talk about for 30 mins and that wont put people to sleep. Also if the ideas is a subcategory of the any of the above and is interesting I will take it:)

Answer by Footloose
how about pop counselors on social sites like Y!A.. dont get me wrong.. i have answered lots of help-me questions here. But the fact remains tht most of us are not professionally qualified to answer and we never know how many grains of salt shud be taken along with the answers, or even if the person who asked can be discerning enough.

What are the ethical facets to this rapidly growing social trend?
