A Multiple Relationship Case Study Using Welfel’s Model for Ethical Decision-Making

Jolene’s description of her research methodology did not accurately reproduce the procedures Stefanie had observed. It is vital to choose approach research methodologies and methods for your thesis as your research is what your whole study will support. APA 's Ethics Code states psychologists should avoid relationships that could reasonably impair their professional performance or could exploit or harm others. But it also reports that many kinds of multiple relationships aren 't unethical as long as they 're not reasonably expected to have hostile effects. Stefanie was so caught up thinking she might get a bid to Jolene’s sorority that it may have clouded her judgment. Dr. Lee should have thought carefully before entering into multiple relationships with any person or group, such

Angie’s problem arises because of the way she thinks about the situation. Therapy aims to give Angie a new way of

In the mental health field, dual relationships can often be damaging to both the client and the therapist. There are several situations where dual relationships, whether considered ethical or not, affect the course of treatment for the client, and the personal lives of therapists. Although some forms of dual or multiple relationships are unavoidable, engaging in a personal relationship between patient and client always involves the possibility of skewing therapeutic results. Dual relationships are defined as having relations with the client outside of therapy, and in most cases it is considered to be unethical. There are four main types of dual relationships including professional, social, business, and sexual. A professional dual

The purpose of this study was to examine and understand the types of activities viewed as either ethical or unethical by psychologists practicing in different settings and orientation. Psychologists from the district of Hilo, Hawaii completed questionnaire and survey concerning the behaviors and acts that lead practitioners to engage in dual roles with client. Measures included demographic questionnaire and the Therapeutic Practices Survey. The participants rated the degree or level to which each behavior or act was ethical. A majority believed dual role behaviors to be unethical under most conditions and some reported that they have rarely or never engage in such behaviors. The profession and practice setting did not vary among terms of involvements, which includes incidental, social/financial, and dual roles. A review of previous studies and literature assisted in revealing the nature of relationships, ethical guidelines provided, and limits of boundaries for relationships. This study offers data to support the need for awareness of activities and behaviors leading to dual roles and the settings of practitioners most at risk.

A paper discussing the ethical issues from a video that discuss cases that are regarding barter, boundaries crossing and violation, touching, receiving and giving gifts, and termination of care. The ACA code of Ethics and Michigan States Rules and Regulation for Professional Counselors on the ethical issues of barter, boundaries crossing and violation, touching, receiving and give gifts, and termination of care are summarized. My feelings toward the cases that were discussed in the video regarding the ethical issues and topics of barter, boundaries crossing and violation, touching, receiving and give gifts, and

Geyer (1994) defines dual relationships as occurring when a mental health practitioner, “relates to a client in roles other than that of a mental health practitioner outside the therapeutic context” (p.187). Areas outside of context may include church, social gatherings, and organized events to name a few. The term dual relationship is interchangeably used with multiple relationships or nonprofessional relations. Corey et al. (2011) further defines this role as a professional who assumes multiple, two or more, roles at the same time with a client. The following paper will look to address a literature review of dual relationships along with a review of the California Association of Marriage and Family Therapist (CAMFT) and American Counseling Association (ACA) ethics codes regarding the topic. I will further provide personal reflections and values as they relate to dual relationships. In closing I will provide an ethical resolution to a hypothetical case and provide final thoughts.

In this scenario, as a psychologist I face several ethical issues. According to the American Psychological Association, Ethical Principles of Psychologist and Code of Conduct there are at least six standards I have to

A dual relationship is defined by the American Psychological Association as one in which a psychotherapist is in not only a professional relationship with a client, but is also either in a non-professional relationship with that client or in a non-professional relationship with someone who is close to that client (APA, 2010). In Lying on the Couch (Yalom, 1997), Dr. Streider enters a professional relationship with Peter Macondo, who

Role relationships are governed by behavioral expectations, and not much was expected of Victor as a kid. Role requirements give purpose, meaning, direction and guidance to one’s life. Role relationships are generally reciprocal, like a parent- child relationship (Thoits 1). For example, Victor was the child in this relationship with his father, however the behavioral expectations didn’t parallel.

Context matters. Research demonstrating racioethnic differences in the impact of primary social roles clearly shows that an important set of role features coalesce for individual role actors. These factors include role meaning, role use, and role sequencing. As presented in the social roles literature, these role characteristics operate collectively as individuals enter into the domain of paid work or make a decision to start their own families through marriage and/or parenthood. The enactment of a social role initiates a process whereby actors assign meaning to their role behaviors, determine how they wish to utilize the resources attached to newly-acquired social roles, and make entre’ into primary social roles in some sequential order.

Moreover, towards the end when Jeffrey came to the therapist on his own, the therapist’s countertransference of his emotions towards Sam’s death and his frustration made him impulsive make a statement. The therapist told Jeffrey, “So why did you continue to then?” when Jeffrey stated that the session were pointless (Cowan, 2005, p. 19). However, the therapist was able to recognize his mistake, move forward, and accept Jeffrey’s transference of emotions towards him. I thought it was interesting that although the therapist at first was a bit angry at Jeffrey’s statements, was able to understand that Jeffrey’s anger was not directed towards the therapist, but to his died wife Sam. It was interesting to read

When discussing the importance of professional boundaries in mental health work, most people think first of relationships between psychotherapists and clients. However, similar boundary considerations are relevant for professor–student relationships, supervisor–supervisee relationships, consultant–consultee relationships, and researcher–participant relationships. Although different dynamics are at play, the relationships psychologists have with each other, with other professionals, and with the general public have boundaries that warrant ethical consideration as well. The American Psychological Association (APA) offers some guidance. The APA Ethics Code says, in Standard 7.07: "Psychologists do not engage in sexual relationships with
