Let's assume that you're a counselor in private practice and you receive third-party reimbursements through an MCO.
 
  You have been seeing a client who is working on existential issues resulting from the unexpected death of her child. The client exhibits symptoms of sadness, grief, and loss, but does not meet the criteria for an Axis I diagnosis. You have met with the client six times (the allotted amount of sessions that the MCO will reimburse), but you believe she could benefit from additional sessions. You could justify additional counseling sessions and continue to receive reimbursement from the MCO if you diagnosed the client with an Axis I diagnosis. Using Haas and Malouf's model of ethnical decision making, describe how you might handle this situation.
  What will be an ideal response?
