Abstract The amount of various, state-level legislation allowing the denial of counseling services to individuals with values that conflict with those of the professional counselor continues to increase. Such laws are in direct conflict with the values, principles, and ethical standards of the counseling profession. These “conscience clause” legislations are of concern due to the ability of the counseling profession to safeguard and protect the welfare of clients seeking counseling services. Potently, however, much of the focus of conscience clause legislation centers around the legal sanctioning of bias and refusal to provide services to affectional and gender minority clients, and the intersection of sexual/affectional orientation to spiritual and religious values. Provided is a review of these laws and the way they clash with the counseling profession. To assist profession counselors in navigating appropriate ethical behavior, specific counseling-appropriate and lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, and queer affirming recommendations are provided. Each layer of professional counseling, direct work with clients, supervision, and counselor education, is addressed.

女同性恋、男同性恋、双性恋和跨性别问题协会在解决辅导员教育和监督中的良心条款立法方面的最佳实践

摘要 允许拒绝向与专业咨询师价值观相冲突的个人提供咨询服务的各种州级立法的数量不断增加。此类法律与咨询行业的价值观、原则和道德标准直接冲突。这些“良心条款”立法令人担忧，因为咨询行业有能力保障和保护寻求咨询服务的客户的福利。然而，良心条款立法的大部分重点可能集中在对偏见和拒绝向情感和性别少数客户提供服务的法律制裁，以及性/情感取向与精神和宗教价值观的交叉点上。提供了对这些法律的审查以及它们与咨询职业的冲突方式。为帮助职业顾问引导适当的道德行为，提供了特定的适合咨询和女同性恋、男同性恋、双性恋、跨性别和酷儿肯定的建议。专业咨询、与客户直接合作、监督和咨询师教育的每一层都得到了解决。
