Ethical Code for the International Association of Marriage and Family Counselors.
The International Association of Marriage and Family Counselors (IAMFC) is an organization dedicated to advancing the practice, training, and research of marriage and family counselors. This chapter presents the IAMFC's code of ethics which promulgates a framework for ethical practice by IAMFC members and is divided into eight sections: client well-being, confidentiality, competence, assessment, private practice, research and publications, supervision, and media and public statements. The ideas presented within these eight areas are meant to supplement the ethical standards of the American Counseling Association. The IAMFC's ethical guidelines can aid members in ensuring the welfare and dignity of the couples and families they have contact with, as well as assisting in the implementation of the Hippocratic mandate.
