Technology continues to evolve and
it has had a major influence on how we learn, communicate, and interact with
others, both personally and professionally. This paradigm shift related to the
use of technology may have many advantages for emerging counselors and
practitioners. But, are there challenges and concerns associated with the use
of technology as well?The appropriate use of technology may help counselors
manage and provide quality services and programs for their clients in a more
efficient manner. However, there are significant ethical challenges associated
with the use of technology that counselors need to acknowledge and address.
Give an analysis of two types of
technology used in counseling, including how a counselor would conduct an
ethical practice using them. Then, evaluate potential ethical violations and
challenges that could be related to each. Be sure to cite the relevant ethical
