Concealing Information from Parents in Child Counseling: An Ethical Dilemma

Concealing information from the parents of a child whom you are seeing in counseling, despite the
fact that they requested such information.
Where in the ethical code is this issue addressed and how might it be an ethical violation? Why do
you believe the profession has chosen to view this issue as unethical some or all of the time? Can you
imagine a scenario where you could argue that acting in such a manner could potentially be
beneficial to a client?
