What ethical standards have been broken? How would you approach dealing with the conflicts you have identified?

Ethics – Unit 6

Review the following case study and provide an analysis of it in your main post:

John is a new client coming in for therapy today.

In meeting with John during your intake, you find out that he was seen for six months by another professional in the same community as your practice.

As part of the intake process, you ask John if he was unhappy with the services that he received or why he decided to see a new psychologist.

John, who is very open, tells you that he was seeing a female therapist. During the course of therapy, they decided that they were both attracted to each other.

John indicates that he knows he still has a few issues to work on because his therapist (now girlfriend) has told him so. John stated that he stopped therapy last week and would like to continue his work with you.
Provide an analysis of this case.

Be sure to address the following in your main post:

What ethical standards have been broken?

Is this information worthy of reporting? Why or why not?

How would you approach dealing with the conflicts you have identified?

Be specific and list the steps you would you take in order to do so.

How might you handle this issue with regard to your therapeutic relationship with John?

What is(are) the major underlying problem(s)experienced by the characters? Provide a brief summary of the film that doesn’t simply describe the plot, but rather describes and captures the nature of the problem(s).

The Movie “The Help”

What is(are) the major underlying problem(s)experienced by the characters? Provide a brief summary of the film that doesn’t simply describe the plot, but rather describes and captures the nature of the problem(s).

Keep in mind that there is no single correct answer to this, so you must use your educated, informed opinion.

•Provide examples of how one or more characters’ behavior illustrates the problem(s).

•Now ask yourself, “What does each person you identified NEED?”.

Provide a prescription of sorts, based upon course material, of what the characters could do to implement positive change in their lives. In fact, you must apply at least five (5) concepts from the course, two (2) of which must come from material in chapters 9, 10, 11, 13or 14.

Note that there are many characters and some of them may not be relevant to the problem(s)that you have identified in the first step.

Thus, you do not need to give a prescription for EACH character, but for each character that is relevant to the problem you identified.

•The key to this assignment is to show creative and thoughtful application of the course material to the complex situation depicted in this film. apply as many concepts from the course that you feel are relevant and that you can adequately apply within the page limit

.•Reminder –keep your answer concise, but thorough, and within the 4-page limit.

•A final note to consider: In many ways, this course, and this assignment, should highlight the contrast between clear abnormal behavior (psychopathology) that is commonly treated by a clinical psychologist or psychiatrist, and maladaptive functioning or an adjustment problem, which is more of a temporary, situational disturbance in the everyday functioning of an individual.

Usually, such disturbances, although quite distressful and disruptive, do not reflect underlying psychopathology and are considered sub-clinical.

Identify and discuss an ethical dilemma from practice -present a description of the issue, explaining relevant facts and clearly stating the central ethical dilemma(s); describe the dilemma including a brief discussion of the background and history of the problem.

Exploring the ethical dilemma of confidentiality

A final paper will be submitted at the end of the course.

The objective of this assignment is to enable students to demonstrate the ability to analyze complex moral issues and structure ethical decisions for social work practice.

The proposed topic can either focus on 1) a case that has ethical implications or 2) an analysis of ethical problems emerging from organizational functioning and operations or organizational policy.

This assignment gives students the opportunity to reflect on an ethical dilemma from their field experience and apply course learning to a real situation experienced in your field setting (New York Presbyterian Brooklyn methodist hospital).

Resolution of the ethical dilemma (which is confidentiality) will require you to draw upon literature, theory, models for resolving ethical dilemmas and the Code of Ethics. Students are required to use recent scholarly resources. Furthermore, you are expected to refer to the course readings.

The paper should follow the Include the following sections in your paper:

 

1.Introduction -Identify and discuss an ethical dilemma from practice -present a description of the issue, explaining relevant facts and clearly stating the central ethical dilemma(s); describe the dilemma including a brief discussion of the background and history of the problem.

Why this is an ethical problem as opposed to an everyday operations or “business” problem?

2.Following the outline developed by Barsky, pp. 504-5in the textbook ,analyze your case.

3.Conclusion –Conclude by discussing how this ethical dilemma may have influenced your professional thinking and development.

Explain your course of action, using research findings from at least two studies to support your plan. You can use (but are not required to use) additional research beyond the two studies to support your plan.

Ethical Issue and Action Plan

Write a 6-8 page assessment of an ethical issue in a case study and construct an ethical analysis based on the application of ethical principles.

Introduction

Note: The assessments in this course build upon one another, so you are strongly encouraged to complete them in sequence.

As a psychology professional, you will encounter ethical dilemmas at times in your work. Dealing with controversial and ambiguous real-life situations within the framework of a complex society provokes challenges. Familiarity with the APA principles, use of critical thinking, consulting with others, and ongoing gains in professional experience enhance our ability as professionals to effectively apply ethical standards in practice. In this assessment, you will apply this understanding to a case study problem.

Overview

Notes:

The assessments in this course build upon one another, so you are strongly encouraged to complete them in sequence.
For this assessment, you will continue to work with the same case study you chose for your Assessment
Review the Case Studies, if necessary.
In this assessment you will apply ethical principles to analyze an ethical dilemma within the case you chose.

Write a 6–8 page report in which you complete the following:

Brainstorm several alternatives for resolving the ethical dilemma in the case.

Analyze alternatives for resolving the ethical dilemma and come to a conclusion.

Analyze and document the possible ramifications for at least three alternatives. Then, choose a course of action.

Apply ethical codes and standards to support the plan of action.

Explain the research methods used in multiple research studies relevant to the case, and present the findings.

Explain your course of action, using research findings from at least two studies to support your plan. You can use (but are not required to use) additional research beyond the two studies to support your plan.

The following is the recommended structure for organizing your assessment:

Create a title page: Write a title that reflects the purpose of your work. It is suggested that you use the APA Paper Template [DOCX] to format your paper according to the APA manual (current edition).

Write an introduction: For the introduction section of your paper, include the title at the top of the first page. (In APA format, the word

Introduction is not used as a heading.) Briefly summarize:

The ethical issue in the case you have chosen.

How professional standards and other resources, in general terms, point toward solutions.

How the issue in general relates to larger societal problems.

Create a heading titled Applied Ethical Principles and Standards: Use the APA Ethical Principles of Psychologists and Code of Conduct to assess which of the principles and standards relate to the particular ethical issue in this case, and analyze how they do so.
Create a heading titled Alternative Solutions:

Brainstorm several alternatives for resolving the ethical dilemma in the case. Thoroughly analyze the possible ramifications for at least three alternatives and document them. Then, choose a course of action.

Explain your chosen course of action and support it based on both ethical principles and current psychological research (published within the past decade).

Create a heading title Research: Present at least two research studies that support your thinking and approach to ethics in the case. Present the research methods and findings and analyze the relevance of the findings to the case.

Create a heading titled Conclusion: Briefly summarize the importance of the problem and make a compelling appeal for implementation of your action plan.

Keep in mind that while your writing must conform to APA standards, you must explain all information in a manner that can be understood easily by a nonacademic or nonscientific audience.

Refer to the Ethical Issue and Action Plan Scoring Guide to ensure you meet the grading criteria for this assessment.

Why?What else could doctors, nurses, counselors or other health practitioners focus on when trying to help people make healthier choices?

We have been discussing health behavior and prevention. listen to the following podcast by The Hidden Brain, and then post your reactions to the discussion questions listed below.

We Shouldn’t Stick Our Heads In The Sand, But We Do It Anyway

“… this ‘no spoilers’ mentality leaks in other parts of our lives. We avoid getting an important medical test done, fearing bad results. We turn off the news when the headlines make us upset, even though the information is pertinent to us. According to economist Joshua Tasoff, this behavior is irrational.”

Transcript link (Links to an external site.)
If you want to listen in iTunes, you can find it there as well under the Hidden Brain podcast.

The podcast discusses a surprising human tendency to want to avoid information that could potentially be negative.

Post a response in the discussion board to the following questions:

Some of the interventions we’ve discussed thus far focus on providing people information to get them to change health behaviors (for example to quit smoking or get more exercise).

This podcast seems to suggest that sometimes simply providing information isn’t sufficient.

Why?What else could doctors, nurses, counselors or other health practitioners focus on when trying to help people make healthier choices?

Think of a specific example where negative feedback is possible and consider a way to help people listen to or receive that information.

The podcast uses the example of avoiding tests for cancer when the threat is particularly emotional but they don’t really propose a solution.

As an example, you could offer a solution to that situation (but  encourage you to think of other possibilities as well).

Offer an extension to at least two of your classmate’s ideas or comments.

For example, perhaps they came up with a great idea but you thought of something else that could be done in addition or maybe you disagree with your classmate’s approach but have thought of an alternative.
