Ohio Admin. Code 4757-5-01 - Standards of ethical practice and professional conduct
(A)
The code of ethical practice and professional conduct constitutes the standards
by which the professional conduct of counselors,
social workers, and marriage and family therapists
licensees and registrants shall be measured. Each
subject area is in a separate rule within Chapter 4757-5 of the Administrative
Code.
(B) The rules of standards of
ethical practice and conduct shall, unless otherwise
indicated, apply to the conduct of all counselor, social worker, and marriage and family
therapist licensees and registrants.
(C) A violation of these rules of standards
of ethical practice and professional conduct constitutes unprofessional conduct
and is sufficient reason for a reprimand, suspension, revocation, other
disciplinary action, or for restrictions placed upon a license or for the
denial of the initial license or renewal, or reinstatement of a
license.
(D) The board subscribes
to codes of ethics and practice standards for counselors, social workers, and
marriage and family therapists promulgated by the "American Counseling
Association," "National Association of Social Workers," "American Association
for Marriage and Family Therapy," "American Music Therapy Association,"
"Ceritification Board for Music Therapists," "American Art Therapy
Association," and "Art Therapy Credentials Board." These association standards
shall be used as aids in resolving ambiguities which may arise in the
interpretation of the rules of professional ethics and conduct, except that the
board's rules of standards of ethical practice and professional conduct shall
prevail whenever any conflict exists between these rules and the professional
association standards.
