Multiple Assessment Methods and Sources in Counseling Ethical Considerations
Monica Leppma and Karyn Dayle Jones
2013
Assessment is a fundamental component both of the counseling process and ethical client care. Although the assessment research literature promotes the use of multiple data collection methods and sources, current professional standards in the counseling field focus primarily on standardized instruments, with little attention given to qualitative assessment methods or the use of multiple methods and sources. This article provides an overview of assessment using multiple data collection methods and sources, a review of current ethical codes related to assessment, and implications and recommendations for counselors regarding the importance of using multiple method, multiple source assessment.
Keywords: assessment, multiple methods, counselor professional, ethics
