CPCE · Sample question

During an intake session, an adult client says they plan to drive to an ex-partner’s workplace tonight and “make them pay,” describes having a weapon in the car, and refuses to consider a safety plan. The client asks the counselor to promise complete secrecy. Which ethical principle should most strongly guide the counselor’s immediate response?
