You have been working with the Smiths for about 3 months in couple's counseling. One day you receive a call from Mr. Smith; he tells you that he has been having an affair for about a year. Although he feels guilty about cheating on his wife, he believes the affair has had a positive effect on his marriage. He asks you not to tell his wife but needed to get it off his chest. He feels much better now that he has told you.

Using at least one scholarly source, discuss how you would handle this situation. Include your policy on secrets. Identify any CAMFT codes and APA principles that apply.
