Abstract: Counselors working with older adults may encounter situations that are not directly addressed by the ethical standards of the
American Counseling Association (1995). After an extensive review of the literature, the Standards Committee of the Association
for Adult Development and Aging (1998) identified 3 areas of concern: older adults with cognitive impairments, older adults who
are the victims of abuse, and older adults with a terminal illness. This article examines the unique needs of older adults with these
concerns and proposes guidelines for counselors working with such clients.
