CONCLUSION
In the human service world we are all faced with challenges of a different kind. The job of a service worker is to provide the client with a proper environment, where they are able to disclose their most intimate secrets. There should be no question of whether or not the information being disclosed is private or not. Understanding the rights of the client and remaining ethical at all times will ensure that no violations are committed; while in sessions. This is easily accomplished by ensuring each client is treated as expected without any sudden changes. This includes maintain all boundaries set forth by the therapist and clients; also by reporting any such violations as they occur as well.
