A human service professional is working with a particularly difficult client who presents an ethical dilemma to this professional. In responding to the client, the professional realizes that if he uses the NOHS ethical code, he would have to respond in one way, but if he uses the APA code, he can respond in a different manner, more in harmony with what he would like to do. He decides to go with the APA code. Is this ethical? Professional? Legal?
