Tan's focus on which Code of Ethics serves as a guide for a Christian Counselor?

• A. AACC
• B. ACA
• C. APA
• D. BACP

Answer: (A)

The guiding framework for a Christian counselor’s ethics is the code from the American Association of Christian Counselors. This code is written to align professional counseling practices with Christian beliefs, addressing aspects like confidentiality, boundaries, informed consent, and the counselor’s spiritual and moral responsibilities within the therapeutic relationship. While broader ethical codes from general counseling or psychology associations exist (for secular practice), they aren’t tailored to integrate faith with counseling in the same way. The AACC code specifically serves Christian counselors by providing guidelines that reflect both professional standards and faith-based considerations, making it the most appropriate choice for Tan’s focus.
