AUTONOMY JUSTICE NONMALEFICENCE BENEFICENCE FIDELITY Republic of the Philippines Department of Education Central Luzon – Reion III Schools Division of Tarlac Province BENIGNO S. AQUINO NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL Concepcion Tarlac AUTONOMY Autonomy is the principle that addresses respect for independence and self-determination. The essence of this principle is allowing an individual the freedom of choice and action. It addresses the responsibility of the counselor to encourage clients, when appropriate, to make their own decisions and act on their own values. There are two important considerations in encouraging clients to be autonomous. First, helping clients to understand how their decisions and values may be received within the context of the society in which they live, and how they may impinge on the rights of others. Second, client’s ability to make sound and rational decisions. Persons not capable of making competent choices, such as children and some individuals with mental disabilities, should not be allowed to act on decisions that could harm themselves or others. Republic of the Philippines Department of Education Central Luzon – Reion III Schools Division of Tarlac Province BENIGNO S. AQUINO NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL Concepcion Tarlac JUSTICE Justice does not mean treating all individuals the same. If an individual is to be treated differently, the counselor needs to be able to offer a rationale that explains the necessity and appropriateness of treating the individual differently. Example: A counselor working with client that is blind would go through the form with that individual orally, instead of giving him/her a standard written form to fill out. But the counselor would treat him the same as any other client in all other regards. BENEFICENCE Republic of the Philippines Department of Education Central Luzon – Reion III Schools Division of Tarlac Province BENIGNO S. AQUINO NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL Concepcion Tarlac Beneficence reflects the counselor’s responsibility to contribute to the welfare of the client. Simply stated, it means to do good, to be proactive, and also prevent harm when possible. Beneficence can come in many forms, such as early intervention actions that contribute to the betterment of clients. NON-MALEFICENCE Non-maleficence is the concept of not causing harm to others. Often explained as “above all, do not harm,” this principle reflects both the idea of not inflicting intentional harm, and not engaging in actions that risk harming others. Weighing potential harm against potential benefits is important in a counselor’s efforts toward ensuring “no harm.” Republic of the Philippines Department of Education Central Luzon – Reion III Schools Division of Tarlac Province BENIGNO S.
