Attitudes and
Beliefs Reflection Paper Assignment Instructions
OVERVIEW
The Standard A.4.b. of the American Counseling Association’s (ACA) 2014 Code of Ethics mandates
the following regarding personal
values:
“Counselors are
aware of their own values, attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors and avoid imposing values that are inconsistent with
counseling goals. Counselors respect the diversity of clients, trainees,
and research participants” (ACA, 2014, p. 5).
Therefore, it is important that counselors and counselor trainees
spend time identifying their own values, understanding the origin of
these values, and honestly owning how personal values may adversely
affect the counselor’s ability to work with certain
populations or mental illnesses.
INSTRUCTIONS
Step 1: Read and complete the Attitudes & Beliefs Inventory
below (see p. 2). When you are finished, go back over the inventory
and select three questions you had the strongest reactions to and/or you had
the most difficult time answering.
Your paper
should be 5-7 pages, (excluding title page, abstract,
reference page), written in APA format, including a title page, abstract,
introduction, body, conclusion, and
references. Your paper should be well thought out and demonstrate critical thinking,
self-evaluation, and practical application. Your paper must include at least 5 scholarly references published within the last 5 years. All sources must
be scholarly journal articles outside of course materials, materials from other
classes, and applicable to the counseling profession. No websites or direct
quotes. This assignment should be written in 1st person.
Step 2: Divide your paper into the three required headings below and
address the following questions within each section:
Reaction
State the 3 questions that evoked the strongest reaction
in you, and/or, you found
most difficult to answer. Why?
What personal value(s) and/or belief(s) did each question seem to contradict or seemed
to cause some personal incongruence within you?
Response
When, from whom, and how,
did you learn this (these)
value(s)/belief(s)?
Action
What personal or professional work do you still
need to do around this issue?
Step 3: When you have completed your paper, save it as a Microsoft
Word document under your name and assignment title (Example: Doe_J_Attitudes
and Beliefs_Paper). Submit your paper via the assignment submission link in
Canvas. If the final paper you submit contains entire
sentences or paragraphs that have a high similarity index to other sources, it
may indicate either unintentional or intentional plagiarism. You may be
contacted by your instructor.
Note: Your assignment will be checked for originality
via the Turnitin plagiarism tool.
