Analysis of the Movie 'Analyze This'

Fourth ethical issue I spotted was the relationship was deepened when Dr. Lowenstein asked Tom to coach her son in football. This is an indicator of a dual relationship that should be prohibited. Football is a contact sport and this created a relationship between Tom and Susan’s son. The relationship escalated as Tom and the son we rolling around in the grass and became close as summer went on. This is an unreasonable distance between client and Susan’s personal life.

Much of what the therapist did in the film (Black et al., 2002) was unorthodox and may have seemed to be going against the 2014 ACA Code of Ethics, however, it also seemed obvious to me that the

Dr. Phil is known as the “leading celebrity psychologist” and he is the most well-known mental health professional in the world. The viewership of his show reached seven million viewers per day in 2008 (Rasmussen & Ewoldsen, 2013). In addition to the show, he has written seven self-help books where he offers his philosophy regarding life, parenting and relationship issues. Dr. Phil’s therapeutic style is “Do-It-Yourself” therapy, which combines self-help and behavioural therapy. He has positioned himself as the “America’s therapist” providing remedies and self-help techniques in his show and books. However, he is retired as a licensed psychologist and he states that the purpose of his show is to help people to understand psychology by addressing important personal and social concerns (Dr. Phil, 2003). For the purpose of analyzing the Canadian code of ethics for psychologists, this paper will examine Dr. Phil’s actions on the TV show as though if he is a licensed psychologist practicing in Canada.

Imitation of Life directed by Douglas Sirk, 1959. This movie is a melodrama that shows the love and the hardships between mother and daughter while juggling the tasks of work, love, and personal problems. The French term mise-en-scène is shown throughout the film in different ways through the camera angles, lighting, and costumes. These elements help show the little details about the characters, and their life lessons with themselves and each other.

For this discussion, I will review the media program then explain the human services professional (HSP) is ethical conflict that is surfacing. Secondly, I will disclose how I would handle this ethical conflict as a HSP. Finally, I identify a code of ethics to justify my opinion.

Substance use disorders (SUD) are related to alcohol, hallucinogens, inhalants, opioids, sedative/hypnotics, stimulants, and tobacco. It is defined as a complex disease of the brain in which there is repetitive drug use, craving, and seeking in spite of the consequences (Halter, 2014, p.681). The film, Requiem For a Dream, follows four individual’s struggle of substance use and addiction. The characters in the film include Sara; Sara’s son, Harry; Harry’s friend, Tyrone; and Harry’s girlfriend, Marion. Sara, who watches TV obsessively and desperately wants to lose weight, becomes addicted to prescription pills that contains amphetamines. Harry and Tyrone are recreational drug users who attempt to work in a drug trade and Marion is an aspiring fashion designer. Unlike Sara, Harry, Tyrone, and Marion are addicted to heroin.Throughout the film, we navigate through the consequences of their addiction.

This analytical research paper will be discussing some ethical issues as illustrated in Stephen Feldman’s video, “Legal and Ethical Issues for Mental Health Professionals”, which this include; the duty to report; the duty to warn; Confidentiality; and Privilege. And also this paper will look into how these ethical issues are implemented by the State of Maryland and the ACA code of ethics. Furthermore, in the paper, there will be a discussion on my view point as to the varying discussions I saw on the video, coupled with what I read from the State of Maryland and ACA code of

When it comes to a child being sick, how can you know who has the best interest of the child in mind? The doctor, or the Parents? The movie First do no Harm, is a good example of having to decide what is right for a child needing medical procedures. During the movie Lori Reimuller’s son Robbie gets diagnosed with Idiopathic Epilepsy, and it has a big effect of the communication and thinking of Lori’s family. This essay contains an evaluation of the following: (a) critical thinking of the Parents, (b) critical thinking of the medical team, (c) and the communication skills of all of the characters in the movie First, Do No Harm. (Abrahams, et al., 1997)

There are multiple ethical standards, laws and ethical aspirations that need to be addressed in this case study. First and foremost, Aspirational code of beneficence and nonmaleficence, should be addressed while problem solving this conundrum. WAC 246-924-357 also addresses the steps that the psychologist may need to make when terminating and referring services with this client. It is important to address Standard 3.04, Avoiding Harm. “Psychologists take reasonable steps to avoid harming their clients/patients, students, supervisees, research participants, organizational clients and others with whom they work, and to minimize harm where it is foreseeable and unavoidable” (APA, 2002). In this case study, the client has an executive role in the organization, which the client notes that he can overlook the psychologist contract obligation by working with this client, outside of the organization. This comment can lead to a slippery slope, and demonstrates an initiation of a multiple relationship. It also prevents the clinician from holding true objectivity, which if the psychologist continues to work with this client, could lead to an exploitative relationship.

The title of the film is called “Enemies”, it is the story about a waiter named Gittleman who is kind, well mannered, and nice. He works at a low star restaurant and has been serving a customer for the past 5 years. The customers names is Miller. Miller is a rude, sassy, cocky type guy. Who says acts like a gentlemen but doesn’t seem like it. Everyday he comes and dines at Gittleman’s restaurant. From my perspective miller enjoys acting like a big shot. He enjoys humiliating Gittleman because he see him as a weak old man. Further in the film, the two talk about personal things. Gittleman has a family of two daughters and a wife. Miller is a widower and has two sons who says are successful. He enjoys his life by doing whatever he wants to

When becoming a young adult you have a lot of pressure on yourself due to figuring out your future, and it’s not easy when you’re parents are breathing down your neck. You feel lost, confused, and even terrified. In the film, The Graduate by Mike Nichols, the protagonist Ben Braddock (Dustin Hoffman) is in this type of situation. Throughout the movie he looks for a meaning to his life and Mrs. Robinson (Anne Bancroft) in a way shows him a path to it through love and sex. He wasn’t just going through life like most did, he wanted to be free and do what he wanted not what his parents wanted.

Taken is a thriller, action movie that appeals to the audience’s emotions while leaving them eager to see what is next. This movie is the perfect suspenseful, heartwarming movie that deals with father-daughter love.

The speech that I have chosen to analyze is a speech given by Jack Dawson from the 1997 film Titanic. It is considered an American epic romantic disaster film. It was writer, co-produced, and co-edited by James Cameron. In this film the two main characters are Jack Dawson and Rose Bukater. Jack Dawson is portrayed by Leonardo DiCaprio and Rose Bukater is portrayed by Kate Winslet. The film is based off a true story of the sinking of the RMS Titanic. In the film Jack and Rose, Two members of different social classes, fall in love aboard the ship.

In order to be a licensed counselor a professional has to take exams that based on ethics. The counselor must function at a mandatory level of competence with knowledge of the basic standards. However, most clients would appreciate an aspirational counselor that conducts themselves above reproach. They understand the sprit and principle behind the code of ethical behavior. There are consequences if the counselor does not know or follow the codes. They may walk the line that runs between ethical and unethical behavior or in violation of ethical code. It will put their reputation at risk. It is best to focus on the client and their best interest. The counselor needs to advocate for the client. “Client’s needs are best met when practitioner monitors their own ethics” (Corey et all, 2015 p.14). “The professional can rely on the basic moral code that Kitchener (1984) and Meara and colleagues (1996) developed to be the foundation of the highest principles for all professionals to live by and promote into their practice” (Corey et al., 2015, p.17). The principle components are autonomy, nonmaleficence, beneficence, justice, fidelity and veracity” (Corey et al., 2015, p.17). The professional promotes autonomy so the client is empowered to be autonomous. It is unethical for the professional to do harm to clients. Nonmaleficence guards against
