Personal Boundaries & Ethical Decision-Making

Personal Boundaries & Ethical Decision-Making. To prepare for working with justice-involved individuals, the best way to protect yourself from failing due to ethical issues is to think through dilemmas ahead of time and know how to establish your personal boundaries.

Background: You have been tasked by your supervisor to provide a training session for the new support workers who were recently hired. The topic is Making Ethical Decisions When Faced with Ethical Dilemmas.

Write a 700-word document which will be used as a handout for the training session. Address the following:

Describe 1 situation which may violate personal boundaries of either the worker or the client, and poses a typical professional dilemma/conflict for the worker, when working with correctional clients. Clearly identify what/which and whose boundaries are being violated.
Identify one code of ethics (ex: CCP Code of Ethics, ACA Code of ethics, etc.) and explain which section/element/part identifies the situation as a possible violation.
Choose one of the four decision-making models presented in our readings and explain the steps/processes/elements of the model.
Using the example (#1 above), outline how your selected model would be applied (how that leads you to your decision) and the decision you would make.

Format as a handout. Include a brief introduction and a brief final summary (conclusion). Use section headings to identify each of the 4 items listed above. Personal Boundaries & Ethical Decision-Making. Graphics may be used to help deliver the information and capture the attention of the audience, but they are not required.

Poverty – A Social Problem

Psychopathology & Critical Thinking

By AssignmentHelp Blog

Scenario:

C.Z. is a 20-year-old Caucasian male who is in his second year of college. He is seeking treatment due to persistent fears that campus security and the local police are tracking and surveilling him. He cites occasional lags in his internet speed as evidence that surveillance devices are interfering with his electronics. His intense anxiety about this has begun getting in the way of his ability to complete schoolwork, and his friends are concerned – he says they have told him, “you’re not making sense.” Psychopathology & Critical Thinking. C.Z. occasionally laughs abruptly and inappropriately and sometimes stops speaking mid-sentence, looking off in the distance as though he sees or hears something. He expresses concern about electronics in the room (phone, computer) potentially being monitored and asks repeatedly about patient confidentiality, stating that he wants to be sure the police won’t be informed about his treatment. His beliefs are fixed, and if they are challenged, his tone becomes hostile.

Questions:

Remember to answer these questions from your textbooks and NP guidelines. At all times, explain your answers. Discuss the etiology, course, and the structural/functional abnormalities of schizophrenia. Discuss the evidence-based pharmacological and nonpharmacological treatment for this patient using the US Clinical Guidelines.

Psychology – Ethics Discussion

By AssignmentHelp Blog

Psychology – Ethics Discussion

DQ1 Topic: Ethical Use of Power

Look at the infographic on this site (Ethical use of power).
Create 4 themes (even if you want to share your own infographic) to use in a work setting.
Explain how your own themes apply in this work setting.
This is NOT limited to the clinical application of the APA guidelines. I am opening this up to any work environment. See link above for ideas.

DQ2 Topic: Fallacies for Ethical Decisions

As we progress forward into this week, I am giving you links to explore how cognitive distortions may corrupt the decision-making process. Listed below are three very interesting web pages from Dr. Kenneth S Pope, who has written on the psychology of ethics for many years. Psychology – Ethics Discussion. As always, I am not endorsing his book, nor do I agree with all of his conclusions, but these pages I think will help all of us contemplate our thinking styles and problem-solving strategies that guide ethical decision making. So, this week you have the opportunity to research very important application of ethics in serious patient populations, and at the same time step back and examine ethical scenarios you may have encountered in your own workplace.

The first page is a link to consider common thinking pitfalls that may lead to unethical behavior. Take the time to reflect on these categories and maybe you have witnessed some of these in your own careers. https://kspope.com/ethics/ethicalstandards.php
Next, take time to research this list which is a more expansive list of common fallacies in psychology that may appear not only in ethical decision making scenarios. How were these applicable to your own professional experiences and how were they resolved? https://kspope.com/fallacies/fallacies.php
Finally take time to review Dr Pope’s recommendations for steps to align the decision-making process for you: https://kspope.com/memory/ethics.php

Psychology – Ethics Discussion. Now pick a fallacy, share how you think this fallacy derails ethical decision making, and how could you avoid that fallacy. Use APA referencing style.

If so, in what ways were the strategies modified? Support your analysis with professional literature.
