Dwayne is providing counseling services to Becky. Dwayne and Becky have a great therapeutic relationship and Becky has achieved many of her treatment goals. Dwayne has been attending a church in his small town for 2 years. Coincidently enough, Becky has begun attending this church. Dwayne has seen Becky at church for the past 3 weeks. Yesterday in session, Becky acknowledges that she has seen Dwayne in church and begins discussing the sermon from the past week. Dwayne has some dissonance about attending the same church as Becky now that he knows she has seen him at past services.

1. What is the ethical dilemma present in this scenario?
2. What does the ACA Code of Ethics suggest about this type of dilemma?
3. Would it be unethical for Dwayne to continue attending the church now that he knows his client is attending?
4. Should Dwayne address this dilemma in session with Becky? If so, what should he say? If not, why should he not discuss this issue?
5. What would you do in this situation if you were Dwayne? Based on your response, why did you make this choice?
