The statement has repeatedly appeared in the literature that it is unethical for counselors to provide clinical services to clients who are culturally different from them if the counselors are not competent to work effectively with them customers (e.g., Corey, Corey, & Callanan, 2003; Herlihy & Watson, 2003; Lee, 2002; Pedersen, Draguns, Lonner, & Trimble, 2002; Remley & Herlihy, 2005; Vontress, 2002). Historically, however, counselors have been slow to recognize a connection between multicultural competence and ethical behavior. Multiculturalism and ethical standards both emerged during the 1960s as separate strands of development within the counseling profession. Multicultural counseling evolved from a growing awareness that discrepancies between counselor and client resulted in ineffective service delivery and premature termination of treatment for ethnic minority clients (Atkinson, Morton, & Sue, 1998) (p. 99). Prior to this form of counseling, counseling was more effective for Caucasians. However, as time passed and theories for minorities improved, the code of ethics began to improve.
