Alexis Whitney · Answer 1

A mental health professional with christian beliefs can demonstrate the golden rule when working with clients who have diverse worldviews by researching how the golden rule is expressed in the client's view. the golden rule is perhaps the best example of how different religions can be compared, and it exist in some form in every culture, so it should be not difficult to find an appropriate example.

Alvin Cortez · Answer 2

This professional would always treat his patient with kindness, respect for his beliefs and worldviews, understanding, calm and would not try to force his clients to believe what he believes.

Explanation:

The golden rule is a concept that states that each person should treat others as he would like himself to be treated and that each person should not treat others the way he would not like himself to be treated.

A mental health professional with Christian beliefs would use this rule in treating his patients if he treated his patients with kindness, respect, calmness and understanding, even if his clients did not share Christian beliefs and had a different worldview. In addition, this professional would respect the patient's beliefs and would not try to impose his thoughts on the patient.
