✦ Synopsis

Effective counseling practice continues to be inevitably linked to underlying theories of behavioral causality. In this article, the authors present the Moral Capacity Profile of an individual from the perspective of the Amoral, Moral, Quasi‐Moral/Quasi‐Immoral, and Immoral Model of Behavior, a model that uniquely expands counseling's theoretical base by including indeterminate, unidirectional free will as a cause of immoral behavior. Implications for practice are presented.
