After reading the Code of Ethics thoroughly, select the three ethical principles that you identify as most important in contracting for services with a client or client system. In a brief paper, clearly discuss the legal implications of the ethical principle and what potential issues may arise in establishing the contract, such as keeping information confidential when working with a couple in conflict with each other, or issues when working with a child in foster care who has biological parents, foster parents, and a caseworker. (Do not use these examples for your assignment.) Indicate how your selected principles would be applicable for your examples.
Then, briefly discuss how you would apply ethical decision-making to the contracting process with a client system. Your submission should reflect a significant understanding of the concepts of ethical principles, legal issues, and the process of ethical decision-making as applied to the early stages of treatment with a client system.
Support your assignment with at least three scholarly resources. In addition to these specified resources, other appropriate scholarly resources, including seminal articles, may be included.
