CIP Ethical Standards & Professional Boundaries 5

Question 1

A CIP practitioner is considering sliding-scale fees for a low-income client. This practice is ethically:

Accepted Answer

Acceptable and encouraged as a way to increase access while maintaining professional integrity

Answer

Sliding-scale fees are an ethically sound access practice provided they are applied transparently and do not compromise the quality of services.

Question 2

A practitioner learns that their client has begun relying exclusively on intuitive sessions instead of seeking medical care for a chronic illness. The practitioner should:

Accepted Answer

Gently address the concern, clarify the limits of intuitive practice, and encourage appropriate medical consultation

Answer

Allowing a client to replace medical care with intuitive practice without intervention violates the principle of non-maleficence and the practitioner's scope of practice.

Question 3

When advertising services, a CIP practitioner is ethically required to:

Accepted Answer

Present services accurately, without false or misleading claims

Honest and accurate representation of services protects consumers and maintains the credibility of the profession.

Question 4

A practitioner working with a minor client receives a request from a non-custodial parent for session information. The practitioner should:

Accepted Answer

Verify custody arrangements and share information only with those legally authorized to receive it

Answer

Legal custody arrangements determine who has the right to access a minor's session information, and practitioners must verify this before disclosing.

Question 5

A practitioner receives an expensive gift from a grateful client at the end of a long engagement. The most ethical course of action is to:

Evaluate the gift's value and impact on the relationship; decline if it could create obligation or blur boundaries

Answer

Gift-receiving policies vary, but practitioners must evaluate whether acceptance could create real or perceived obligations that compromise professional objectivity.
