Card 54 / 104: Section A, which is the general section of NBCC’s Code of Ethics, cautions counselors against sexual harassment defi ned as “unwelcome comments, gestures, or physical contacts of a sexual nature.” An example of an ethics violation in this respect would be
A) a female counselor who repeatedly tells a male client how sexy his hairy chest looks when he leaves his shirt unbuttoned
B) a male counselor who smiles to reinforce a female client (who is overly critical of her looks) who has just said that she is beginning to accept her feminine qualities
C) a female career counselor who tells a male client that she feels his gray fl annel suit would be the most appropriate for a given job interview
D) when a client who has been very depressed and neglecting her looks comes into the therapy session looking much better and the counselor comments, “You certainly look nice today.”
