How would you go about simultaneously applying both the psychological concepts, principles, and theories you’ve learned (underlined above), and the ACA code of ethics, when you’re working with clients?

You’ve been reminded of the biopsychosocial model, and the importance of thinking about the “whole person.”
In Beyond Behaviors, Delahooke emphasizes consideration of the developmenal iceberg (p. 17).
And now you’ve been introduced to Functional Behavioral Analysis (FBA), that seeks to identify the root cause(s) of a person’s behavior, rather than just make assumptions.
In Beyond Behaviors, Delahooke, and in Right From the Start, Donahue & Crassons agree that self-regulation is the central ability that must be mastered in order for a person to make progress in other learning domains. Polyvagal theory explains the mechanisms underlying self-regulation.
Now you’re learning about the American Counseling Association’s (ACA) Code of Ethics, which is the foundation for guiding your decision-making process when working with clients.We’ve taken a close look at the Ethical Principles.
How would you go about simultaneously applying both the psychological concepts, principles, and theories you’ve learned (underlined above), and the ACA code of ethics, when you’re working with clients? Provide both a general answer to this question and illustrate it with a specific example (a psychological concept/principle/ theory connected to one or more of the items underlined above, and a specific ethical principle that you would use to guide your response).
