“…Sharing information about the student's erection could possibly ignite existing stereotypes that equate queer with hypersexual. The legal discourse related to "duty to report" is not clear here (Drodge, 1997;Roberts, Rogers, & Fier, 1997;Stone & Issacs, 2003). After all, the volunteer was not really a student and Sergio believed he was older than he thought (19).…”

Queer teachers’ ethical dilemmas regarding queer youth

Although all teachers are expected to be "role models," discursive trajectories reaching back to the West's gay liberation pressure queer teachers to be role models in specific ways -by "coming out" and helping queer students out of their "time of difficulty." Paradoxically, discourses that construct children as innocent and queers-as-a-threat make it difficult for queer teachers not only to take up these positions as role models but to be visible in schools. In this article, I explore the discourses that shape queer teachers' understanding of touch, sexuality, confidentiality, the private versus public domain, and pedagogical responsibility within the schooling context. Informed by Foucault, I analyze the interview data of three Ontario queer teachers to investigate the ways in which queers-as-a-threat and teacher-as-role-model influence the negotiation of their ethical dilemmas regarding their student crushes.

“…It is necessary for the establishment of trust between psychologists and clients. Without such trust, clients may be reluctant to disclose all pertinent information especially about irrational thoughts, inappropriate emotions, and abnormal behaviors (Stone & Isaacs, 2003). Without complete disclosure, psychologists may not be able to counsel clients in an appropriate way, make accurate diagnoses, undertake effective psychotherapy, and arrange for appropriate follow-up (e.g.…”

“…Not surprisingly, in cases of tobacco smoking or shoplifting, only about 10% of counselors considered it appropriate to break confidentiality, but about 60% considered it appropriate to break confidentiality in the case of an adolescent's regular use of crack cocaine. Stone and Isaacs (2003) compared US school counselors' views regarding confidentiality before and after the tragic shootings at Columbine High School in April 1999. Counselors' willingness to break confidentiality was lower after the shootings than before them, which can be explained by counselors' belief that stricter respect for confidentiality on their part would make troubled students more willing to disclose their psychological problems.…”

Four qualitatively different personal positions were found, called Never acceptable (20% of the participants), Always acceptable (27%), Mainly depends on client's age (20%), and Mainly depends on family problems (33%). A larger percentage of Chileans expressed the never acceptable view compared to French lay people, and a larger percentage of French expressed the mainly depends on client's age view, compared to Chilean lay people. Chilean psychologists infrequently endorsed positions that are not fully compatible with the Chilean code of ethics.

“…The content of the survey includes rank order items similar to items in previous studies surveying school counselors regarding potential breaches of confidentiality (Lazovsky, 2008;Moyer & Sullivan, 2008;Stone & Isaacs, 2003). Face validity for key constructs in the survey was rated as highly acceptable by five experienced high school principals who did not participate in the study.…”

“…Generally, school counselors maintain confidentiality with their students when counseling them, unless serious and foreseeable harm exists (American School Counselor Association [ASCA], 2010, A.2.c). Threat of harm is interpreted broadly based on the developmental level of the student (ASCA, 2010, A.2.c; Isaacs, 1999; Stone & Isaacs, 2003). In other words, disclosure of counseling content to a principal or parent is more likely to occur with elementary age students than with high school age students (Mitchell et al, 2002; Moyer & Sullivan, 2008).…”

The school counseling literature emphasizes the importance of confidentiality in the counseling relationship. In some circumstances, school policy may require disclosure of content discussed in counseling unrelated to threat of harm to self or others. This pilot study investigated secondary school principals' attitudes toward the practice of confidentiality in schools. Analysis of the survey data revealed that the sample of principals supported the practice of confidentiality in school counseling in the absence of threat of harm to self or others.
