The literature addressing ethical issues involved in the disclosure of family secrets in counseling has typically focused on secrets disclosed by adults, ignoring the ethical issues surrounding individual disclosure by minor children and confidentiality within the family counseling context. This article explores family secrets, confidentiality with minors, and breaching confidentiality. A case example of an individual session disclosure with a minor child is presented along with ethical considerations and practice recommendations.

The initial goals of IAMFC included conducting and fostering programs of education in the field of family counseling, and promoting and conducting programs of research in the field of marriage and family counseling (International Association of Marriage and Family Counselors, 1990). The goal of fostering program development shows signs of success, as currently 26 couple/marriage and family counseling programs are accredited by the council for the Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs (CACREP). This article reviews research targeting couple/marriage and family counselor training. The literature search used commonly accessible databases (i.e., PsychInfo) as well as a hand search. Research on the training of counselors specializing in couple/marriage and family counseling (C/MFC) would go a long way toward meeting the goal of conducting research in the field of couple/marriage and family counseling. Possible implications for the field of counseling, especially the C/MFC specialty, follow.

Each of us has a perceived role perception that is like an actual job description. That is, our closest relationships can be seen as analogous to jobs that require certain behaviors. Similarly, we have expectations of our partners and/or family members. The purpose of the following article is to identify some of the most frequently reoccurring ways you and your partner and/or other family members interact within such relationships. The article begins with self-reflection questions and an opportunity to identify your priorities in your job as a partner or parent. The Full Resource Parenting Questionnaire (FRPQ) follows. Metaphors representing the main themes of the instrument will then be introduced. Based on these themes, you will first predict your expected scores, then you will tally, profile, and write your own reactions to the scores. A more extensive theoretical discussion follows. The article includes a series of self-reflection questions. A concluding next-step action plan is suggested to help you apply the concepts for a heightened and more conscious full resource approach to your perceived job description with your partner and/or current family relationships.
