Working with a couple in their late 20s who recently moved to the US from the Middle East, you are their counselor. The wife possesses an H4 visa as the spouse of the husband, who is an H1-B visa holder and a college professor. The husband does not want his wife to work, and the H4 visa prohibits employment. The woman confessed in you that she intended to get a working visa and eventually divorce her husband, who she claims has been verbally abusive to her, and that she had requested for your assistance when the husband had to leave the session to answer a phone. She emphasized that he has not abused her physically and she doesn't think he will, but she can no longer put up with the verbal abuse. As part of your goals for their counseling sessions, she has requested you to assist her in becoming more independent. This directly contradicts the husband's intentions for counseling, and the recommendation was to offer counseling to help them strengthen their bond. Describe the ethical principles involved in the case and state specifically how they relate to this case utilizing at minimum applicable ACA Code of Ethics (2014) and Rehabilitation Counseling Code of Ethics (2017). Include the underlying moral principle(s): (Autonomy, Nonmaleficence, Beneficence, Justice, Fidelity, or Veracity) associated with each dilemma and any conflicts between codes (e.g. autonomy and beneficence). What would constitute successful resolution of the dilemma? Choose one option and provide justification for your decision. Consider any potential criticisms of your decision and how you would justify your choice.
