Models of Ethical Reasoning: - ANS-Is to highlight acts of two kinds: those which
enhance the well-being of others—that warrant our praise—and those that harm or
diminish the well-being of others—and thus warrant our criticism.

welfare of others. We are capable of acting toward others in such a way as to increase
or decrease the quality of their lives. We are capable of helping or harming.
The intersection of Personal Values: - ANS-Bracketing: the ability of counselors to
manage their personal values so that they do not contaminate the counseling process.
Introjection: the process of taking in the values and standards of others. The middle
ground between different value systems

the "understanding of both our own & another person's perspective, beliefs, thoughts, or
