Case Example
Jason, a newly licensed counselor working in a Community Mental Health Center, works with UK-born mother of one Juliet, who has come to counseling without her American husband to figure out how to leave her husband. She reports domestic violence and that her husband will not let her and her 3-year-old daughter move back to the UK. Juliet has been talking with Jason for awhile about feeling homesick and missing her family in England. As it is apparent from many signs and symptoms that Juliet is telling the truth related to domestic violence, Jason, as a counselor, advises her to leave her husband, and return to her home country with her 3-year-old daughter for safety reasons.
Counseling demands the highest level of performance.
