ABSTRACT

Hill, Glaser, and Harden (1995) developed a feminist model for ethical decision making that included emotion, intuition, power di¥erences between the client and therapist, and recognition that cultural biases are inherent in value-based decisions. e steps in their ethical decision-making model are relatively similar to those in previous models: (a) recognizing a problem, (b) dening the problem, (c) implementing and evaluating the decision, and (d) continuing re±ection. However, in addition to the rational-evaluative process of previous models, they added an evaluation of the therapist’s feeling-intuitive process, and the person of the therapist in each decision-making step. eir model was also one of the rst models of ethical decision making that included the client in the decision-making process. ey believed “one’s personal experience and involvement are legitimate and necessary factors to take into account in any analysis” (Hill et al., p. 24).
