Hi I need help writing my paper for counselor ethical boundaries and practices assignment and its due on Wednesday the 15th please. Section 1: Boundary Issues and DualRelationships  Part A – Decision-Making Model andCounseling Examples Howwould you determine if a boundary-crossing or dual relationship is ethical andappropriate? What criteria would you consider when making your decision? Present examples of how youwould apply this criteria to at least four counseling situations in which youbelieve the dual relationship issues are complex and ambiguous. One of yourexamples should address the issues of physical attraction between clients andcounselors.  Part B-Ethical Issues and Dimensions In addition,examine these issues in terms of former clients. Address the following: · Dothe ethical issues (and your opinion about appropriateness) change, dependingon how long after the termination of therapy a dual relationship is initiated?  · Whatare the key ethical dimensions that might change, after the termination oftherapy? · Presentan example of a situation that you believe would constitute a boundaryviolation with a current client but might be acceptable with a former client.  Section 2: Professional Collaboration inCounseling Part A – Working with a MultidisciplinaryTeam Explain why counselorsfrequently collaborate with other stakeholders regarding a client’s care inorder to maintain professional and ethical boundaries and practices.  For example, professionalcounselors frequently work with clients with addiction issues.
