- Open orientation and explicit values
-Counsellor not to be neutal
2) Smlor views
-Change in values is Counselling
-Counsellor interventions are to be
accepted.
-As these values make the relation stronger
of the both.

12. 3) Patterson
-Counsellors values effect the ethics of
counselling relation.
-No matter how valueless the counsellor
appears, the clients’ value system is
influenced by the value system of
counsellor and becomes similar.

13. But Patterson suggests that counsellors
are not justified to directly impose their
values because:
-Each individuals’ philosophy on life is
different, unique and unsuited to adopted
by other.
-All counsellors cannot be expected to have
a fully developed, adequate philosophy.

14. -The appropriate places for instruction in values
are the homes, schools and religious
institutions.
-An individual develops a code of ethics not
from a single source or in short period but
over a long period and from many sources.
-No one ought to be prevented from developing
his/her own unique philosophy since it will be
meaningful for him.
-The client must have the right to refuse or
accept any ethics or values
