Fourth Section

The first three, brief sections of the Code of Ethics of the National Association of Social Workers (1999) display striking inconsistency of content and uncertainty of purpose. The decision to incorporate those sections into a single code document along with the lengthy fourth section (Ethical Standards) appears to have contributed to their imperfection. The mission statement and the ethical principles, in particular, may develop better if they are divided into separate documents, each with its own distinct purpose. Such a development might help reduce the extent to which social workers must rely upon individualistic rather than shared wisdom in responding to common ethical issues.

On September 25, 1972, at San Juan, Puerto Rico, the Delegate Assembly of the National Rehabilitation Counseling Association adopted a draft of a Code of Ethics for Rehabilitation Counselors. The provisions of the Code were based on responses from many members of the Association who had been invited to report ethical dilemmas they had encountered and to suggest acceptable solutions to those dilemmas. A first draft was published in the Summer, 1971, issue of The Journal of Applied Rehabilitation Counseling. Many additional members responded to the invitation to suggest changes in that draft. It was a revised version of the first draft that was adopted at San Juan.While the vote for adoption was almost unanimous, there were some questions raised during the discussion at San Juan and during the three years that the Code was in preparation that should be shared with all Association members. The questions might be placed in three generic types: (a) Does the profession really need a code of ethics? (b) Can a profession that is generally composed of persons who are employees, as opposed to private practitioners, reasonably expect to set its own ethical standards and abide by them? (c) Would it not be preferable merely to state some very broad principles of ethical behavior and refrain from defining for the members what those principles should mean in practice? The attempt will be made here to summarize the apparent rationales of these questions and what seemed to be the conclusions of the Delegate Assembly concerning them.

Rehabilitation counselor educators are obligated to act in accordance with the Code of Professional Ethics for Rehabilitation Counselors. This obligation is particularly strong for rehabilitation counselor educators, not only because of the importance of protecting the rights of students and the clients those students may serve, but also because of the importance of modeling high standards of ethical behavior. Because the Code historically has been focused on the counselor-client relationship, educators may have viewed it as having only limited relevance in their own work. The 2002 . revised Code includes several clarifications and provides specific guidance to rehabilitation counselor educators that should assist them in their efforts to practice ethically. This article discusses the challenges that rehabilitation counselor educators routinely confront and highlights several of the changes to the Code of Professional Ethics that have direct relevance to rehabilitation education. Implications for implementation of the code within academia are included.
