ABSTRACT

Professional and competent ethical decision-making relies on a counselor’s ability to examine potential personal biases and cultural differences. Experiential activities can assist counselors-in-training to practice challenging skills, including culturally sensitive ethical decision-making.

Ethical decision-making models are reviewed as well as (a) the importance of multicultural awareness (b) support for using experiential techniques in counselor training, and (c) an introduction and application of a conceptual framework for the use of The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down in ethical and multicultural training.
