I did link to the Canadian equivalent (PACCP) ethics and the Alberta code governing psychology in general. <br /><br />This is in stark contrast to the AACC ethics guidelines.MgShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11183962674882855323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5573426.post-29800829482755732812015-01-03T01:02:03.859+11:002015-01-03T01:02:03.859+11:00It's also in concordance with the 2014 Christi...It's also in concordance with the <a href="http://aacc.net/files/AACC%20Code%20of%20Ethics%20-%20Master%20Document.pdf" rel="nofollow">2014 Christian Code of Ethics</a><br /><br /><i>1-120-f: Application to Homosexual, Bisexual and Transgendered Behavior<br />Christian counselors do not condone or advocate for the pursuit of or active involvement in homosexual, bisexual or transgendered behaviors and lifestyles. Counselors may agree to and support the desire to work through issues of homosexual and transgendered identity and attractions, but will not describe or reduce human identity and nature to sexual orientation or reference, and will encourage sexual celibacy or biblically-prescribed sexual behavior while such issues are being addressed. Counselors acknowledge the client’s fundamental right to self-determination and further understand that deeply held religious values and beliefs may conflict with same-sex attraction and/or behavior, resulting in anxiety, depression, stress, and inner turmoil.</i><br /><br />Note the total confusion between gender identity and sexual orientation. <i>issues of homosexual and transgendered identity and attractions</i><br /><br />Oh Dear.
