please react to the following post in a positive manner… one page, single space

Sam is a 32-year-old Caucasian, that has been coming to weekly sessions for a month for his compulsive sexual behavior. At the last session, Sam discussed the different boundaries he crossed to satisfy his sexual urges and hugged the counselor at the end of the session. During the present session Sam greeted the counselor with a hug and kiss on the cheek blurring the counseling boundary. The counselor is becoming attracted to Sam and does not say anything to him about the physical contact. As the session proceeds Sam discusses having sex in public places and talks about how this is affecting his life as he was arrested for indecent exposure. Sam starts to get upset and the counselor places a hand on his shoulder to try and comfort him. At the end of the session, Sam asks the counselor if she would like to go out for coffee.

The counselor needs to ensure not to enter into a relationship with Sam or a friendship as it would be unethical according to the ACA (2014) Code of Ethics, sexual or romantic relationships are prohibited between counselor and client or former client for a period of five years (§A.5.a. & §A.5.c.). Potential harm can occur, and the counselor may not be able to remain objective. After careful consideration of the risks and benefits of continuing to counsel Sam, and seeking consultation, supervision, and gaining informed consent. The counselor decides to continue counseling Sam, they must ensure that Sam understands the role of the counselor, and his as a client, and the limits of the counseling relationship (Remley & Herlihy, 2016). If the counselor believes the role is changing, she will reevaluate the relationship, and restate the roles, if she finds that her judgment is being affected, she will seek consultation to ensure no harm is being done to Sam. There are not always signs when a counselor-client relationship can become an inappropriate relationship as the counselor may inadvertently exploit or misuse power (Remley & Herlihy, 2016).

If the counselor determines that she cannot appropriately or effectively counsel Sam, and there is a potential of harm, she needs to provide pretermination counseling and refer him to another counselor (ACA, 2014, §A.11.c.). The counselor cannot abandon Sam, but explain the reason why she needs to refer him to someone that can objectively counsel him. If Sam decides to continue counseling with another therapist, the counselor needs to ensure the appropriate administrative processes are completed, and that there is proper communication between Sam, the counselor, and the new counselor (§A.11.d.).

If the counselor accepted Sam’s invitation for going for coffee she would be extending the counseling boundaries. Counselors need to consider the risk and take precautions if it’s determined it would be beneficial to extend the boundary. The counselor would need to seek supervision and consultation, obtain informed consent, and document the reasons why, and make sure no harm would come to the client (ACA, 2014, §A.6.b.). The documentation must include the potential benefits and any foreseeable or potential consequences, and evidence of any attempts made to remedy if harm occurs to the client (§A.c.6.). In this scenario, I do not bilevel it would be beneficial to Sam as it may confuse the counseling relationship as the counselor is attracted to him.

The legal rights of the American people are an important part of the Constitution. The issue of colonial rights has led American colonists to revolt against Great Britain. Yet, the American attachment to legal rights results from having been a British colony for many, many years.

The American idea of legal rights in the 1700’s was based upon the British view of the “rights of Englishmen.” Many of those rights actually applied to English women as well as to the English men. The American colonists, as British subjects, believed that those rights were also theirs.

The rights of Englishmen included:

• Free speech and free press
• The right to a fair trial by a jury
• The right to bail for an accused person
• Protection of personal property rights
• Protection against an oppressive government
• An increased degree of self-government.

During the late 1760’s and early 1770’s, many colonists accused the British of violating the rights of American colonists. They especially protested against the various British systems of taxation that were introduced. There were no American colonists elected to the British parliament that voted for the taxes. To many colonists this was “taxation without representation.” The British government denied this charge. They pointed out that members of the British parliament represented all of Great Britain and its colonies. This difference in outlook worsened relations between Britain and its colonies.

The colonists rebelled against Great Britain and won their independence in 1783. After 1788, the Constitution established the basis of government in the new United States. It also set forth the legal rights of Americans.

Habeas Corpus

One legal right in the original Constitution was the protection of persons accused of crimes.

Article I, Section 9, Clause 2 of the Constitution states that the right of “…habeas corpus shall not be suspended…” except in times of great emergency.

What is habeas corpus? Why is this an important legal right? Habeas corpus is a Latin expression meaning, “you should have the body.” These are the first words of a court order, called a writ, directing a jailer to bring a prisoner before a judge. The accused person must then be charged with a crime or set free.

Habeas corpus is an important legal right for two main reasons. First, it makes it impossible for an accused person to be held in jail for long periods of time without being charged with a crime. Second, it enables the accused person to know the charges against him or her. Once the charges are known, the accused can prepare a defense with legal counsel.

Bills of Attainder /Ex Post Facto

Article I, Section 9, Clause 3 of the Constitution states that “No bill of attainder or ex post facto law shall be passed.”

What are bills of attainder? What are ex post facto laws? What is their legal importance? A bill of attainder is a law that punishes a person without a trial. Such persons are punished for what they are, not for what they did. “Attainder” comes from the word “attaint,” meaning a stain upon the honor. During the Middle Ages, many kings punished entire families for the acts of any one or several members of the family. They were declared “attainted,” or touched with the same dishonor, and were not given a trial. The American colonists were determined to prevent such punishments. No American can be punished by a law that singles out a person or group for punishment.

An ex post facto law makes an act a crime even if it was not a crime at the time it was committed. In other words, the law reaches back in time and punishes people for actions that were not unlawful when the act took place. This type of law was used during the Middle Ages and later by kings to rid themselves of troublesome subjects. The American colonists thought this was a cruel law that placed too much power in the hands of rulers and government officials. For this reason, it was banned by the Constitution. No American can be punished by a law that makes a crime of an action that was legal at the time it was committed.

The authors of the Constitution also took steps to protect the legal rights of Americans in their business dealings. This was especially important because there were often different laws in each of the states in the federal republic.

Contracts

Article I, Section 10, Clause 1 of the Constitution forbids any state to enact a law “…impairing the obligation of contracts.”

Contracts are agreements made between two or more people, groups of people, or businesses. A law that impairs a contract keeps it from being carried out entirely or in part. It would be impossible to conduct business in the United States if the laws in any state could overturn legally drawn contracts. A state can take steps to void a contract only if the contract is illegal, immoral, or dangerous to the health, safety, or morals of the public.

The Constitution as adopted in 1788 provided protection of the legal rights of Americans. Even so, many of these protections were incomplete, and the led to the “Bill of Rights” in the form of amendments to the Constitution. The Constitution was only ratified when its supporters promised to include a Bill of Rights.

Create a positioning map for an organization of your choice and analyze the results.

A positioning map helps measure an organization against the
competition on two dimensions that are important in the marketplace.
Examples could be capacity, customer service, conservative versus edgy,
price, convenience, or customer loyalty. Many organizations are
increasingly using product positioning maps to look at how their
products and services are positioned in comparison to competitors and
to find ways to implement strategies. This information is especially
useful for marketing managers.

Create a positioning map for an organization of your choice. Select
an organization to analyze. Ideally, the company you choose will be a
familiar one and one to which you have easy access, such as your place
of employment or a company close to where you live. You may use the same
organization for other assessments in this course. Assess your chosen
organization against potential competitors.

Complete the following:

• Using the Positioning Map Template linked in the Resources under
  the Required Resources heading, determine two important factors and
  descriptors for the ends of the continuum, such as capacity, customer
  service, convenience, etc.
• Include your organization’s competitors in your map for the same two factors you chose for your selected company.
• Analyze the results.
• Discuss issues that leaders face when interpreting these results.

Additional Requirements

• Written communication: Written communication is free of errors that detract from the overall message.
• APA formatting: If you use sources, ensure that resources and citations are formatted according to APA (6th edition) style and formatting.
• Font and font size: Times New Roman, 12 point.
