In video role play 2, Dealing With Anger: A Protective Brother, the client (Richard) reports that his sister is dating an Asian man. Richard is angry and says that he is not going to let that happen. He adds that his sister is not going to mess with his family like that. The counselor (Nadine) asks Richard if he thinks his sister should live to make him happy. He says, “My sister is going to do what I say and that’s just it!” This vignette shows how a counselor’s own unfinished personal issues can get in the way of counseling a client who is expressing anger. Identify and discuss the ethical issues you see played out in this vignette. Reenact the role play by having several students take the role of counselor to show alternative perspectives.
