The following hypothetical practice situations are designed to help you apply what you have learned in this chapter. For each situation, decide which component$($s$).$ Also, include what you would have done differently. Responses are worth up to three points per situation and will be graded based on the quality of the sentences used.

Situation I

Carl is uncomfortable around gay men. Bert, his client, is gay and has just broken up with his lover. Bert, who is $42$ years old, had been in a long$-$term relationship and is devastated and in tears in Carl's office. Because Bert has suffered from severe depression in the past, Carl attempts to have him evaluated by the therapist this afternoon. In the meantime, Bert is still weeping and now threatening to take his life. Carl is particularly uncomfortable with this man's tears and believes this is drama. Carl says, $"$Oh$,$ c'mon now. Let's get a grip. You can't sit in here all afternoon carrying on$.$ Here, take some tissue and go out in the waiting room until Dr$.$ Paul can see you."

Ethically, what went wrong? How would you have handled this situation differently?

Situation II

Kitty has a whole list of things to do today and doubts she can get it all done. She hates the way there are always things left to do at the end of the day. It just seems that no matter how hard she works, something new comes up that she cannot complete. One of her clients, Isabel, has told her on the phone that she wants to sign a release of information form for her lawyer. Kitty has the form ready for the time when Isabel will be coming in at the end of the week. Today a man calls and says he is Isabel's lawyer and he needs just two dates to help him file a brief with the court on Isabel's behalf. Kitty gives him the two dates and hurries to the next thing on her list.
