It is important for the professional counselor to understand he/she importance as the counselor and the role which they play. The client must understand and know that the counselor is the professional performing a service of duty as the treating counselor only.

Organized vs. Disorganized Profiling The main purpose of using organized and disorganized profiling tactics is to establish the basis of the perpetrators personality in order to make a prediction of where they may fit into society when looking for suspects. An organized killer/perpetrator is classified by the FBI as an individual that is non-social, controlling, cunning, and a planner, along with having a smart sense of the law and forensics, making it easy for them to avoid being caught and maintain control. At the crime scene, an organized killer/perpetrator will position the body, will show control in the way they murdered their victim, they will usually purposely clothe the victim or unclothe, and they will have brought the weapon with…

I'm agree with your statement, Is a priority obligation to safeguard professional secrecy; therefore it is accurate to share this information obtained during therapy with our supervisors or a colleagues, this information obtained during therapy is discussed only for professional purposes. Another case wen is necessary to share this information is when the client is a minor or a person who is unable to give us the voluntary consent. Therapists like other professions, we focus our work in human beings, so that all our work must be based on deep and solid ethical foundation. The understanding of the ethical code is a requirement no just for the therapist also as a respect to the patient and the welfare of individuals or groups with whom we work,…
Introduction: For sixteen years, George Metesky, also known as the “mad bomber,” eluded the New York City police during which time he planted more than thirty small bombs around the city, hitting movie theaters, phone booths, and other public areas. In 1956 he continued to discourage investigators, who turned to psychiatrist James Brussel as a last resort. They asked Brussel to study the crime scene photos and the notes that Metesky left behind for the NYPD. From the material made available to him, Brussel produced a comprehensive profile of the suspect that included but was not limited to the following: he would be unmarried, foreign, self-educated, and in his 50s; he would be living in Connecticut, paranoid, and with a grudge against Con…
Racial profiling has existed from when slavery was an acceptable act in the United States and is continuously occurring despite legislation over the past several decades attempting to push this type of active discrimination. This is a form of oppression. Miriam Webster dictionary defines Oppression as unjust or cruel exercise of authority; the condition of being weighed down. Through the years, the United States has created, implemented and practiced customs and laws that have continuously oppressed the underrepresented demographics in our communities, specifically those of the African American race.…
To begin, this discussion is based off the research paper written by Craig Bennell that studies the importance and utility of offender profiling. Some researchers have argued that profiles are often so ambiguous that they can fit a large number of suspects. This decreases its usefulness as a prioritization tool. It is also possible that investigators may also creatively reinterpret the statements the statements of offender profiles in order to make them fit a number of different suspects. The current study proposed that, like the participants in the early Barnum studies, individuals may reinterpret an offender profile to fit various, distinct suspects.…
It would be inaccurate to claim that the world is perfect and people do not commit crimes or partake in deviant behavior. This is obviously an absurd idea, in which everyone knows the regularity of crime and deviance in everyday life. There are several different ways to explain deviant behavior and crime in society. These approaches include the Structural Functionalism Approach, Social Conflict Theory, and Symbolic Interactionism. Through analysis of these approaches one can get a better understanding of acts of deviances, even one of the most common crime on college campuses: underage drinking.…

Emergence as a discipline. Canter and Young (2009) implies the skills of historic profilers are only relevant to extreme cases that involve some form of psychopathology. However, Investigative Psychology contributes to investigations across the spectrum of the police service. The first documentation of offender profiling dates back to the publication of ‘Malleus Maleicarum’ in the late 1400s. The first profile used was to identify and eradicate witches.…
Chapter 6 discusses the issues and ethics that come along with Confidentiality. Confidentiality enables the client to the right of privacy. This disables me from disclosing confidential communication to a third party unless mandated or permited to do so (p. 206). In order to conduct effective therapy, one must protect the client communication by maintaining privacy and avoiding the “avoidable” breaches of confidentiality that could potential take place. However, confidentiality does have its limits and issues may arise.…

I feel sad to have spent so much time not hearing the people I love. I can recall instances when I have given advice based on what I have heard, without checking-out or being sure that I was in the other persons frame of reference. Since beginning the course and having begun to learn the skills required to achieve Rogers’s six conditions, I have become more self-aware and more honest and open in my communication, as well as more emotional. I have seen evidence of the same with my fellow students. The theory of person centred counselling and the six conditions is greatly enabled by our group practice sessions.…
