If, however, the professional strives for the highest possible benefit andwelfare for the client, he or she behaves with aspirational ethics (Corey et al.2006, Fritz 2013), see Box 8.2.

Eight principles that guide professional ethical behavior (adapted from
Fritz 2013):
• Respect (esteem and regard for clients, other professionals, and oneself)
• Client autonomy and self-determination (the right to decide and the right
to sufficient information to make the decision)
• Veracity (the right to the objective truth)
• Proportionality (benefit must outweigh the burden of treatment)
• Non-maleficence (the profession shall do no harm and prevent harm from
happening)
• Beneficence (treatment should contribute to the client’s well-being)
• Confidentiality (respect for privacy of information)
• Justice and non-judgement (ensures equality among clients).
Ethical therapist behavior and clear communication are essential for a productive
therapeutic relationship. The technical and interpersonal aspects of care are
symbiotic. Touch demands intimate human contact, interaction and response.
The therapist’s interactions and responses to the client are of parallel importance
to skillful assessment and treatment (Fitch 2005).
A few rules in the professional setting are absolutes: a professional does not
breach sexual boundaries with a client; clients are to be referred when the skills
required are out of the scope of practice or training of the professional; all care
must focus on giving help and avoiding harm; and clients are to be given
complete information about the treatment (Fritz 2013).
