Barbra's Ethical Dilemma

People from all walks of life face many ethical dilemmas. These dilemmas have consequences. Our worldview determines how we deal with these dilemmas, and guides us to the right decisions. In this essay, I will examine an ethical issues through my Christian worldview. I will also present other viewpoints, and compare them to mine.

Your client Sue is a Social Work Assistant. In your last session she disclosed that she is concerned that on a recent home visit, herself and a senior colleague did not follow the necessary policies and procedures. They had visited a family with a history of neglect and domestic violence and did not ask to see the child or enter the home, both these actions are prescribed as appropriate as part of their work.

In the given case there is argument whether human service workers can provide psychotherapy treatment to the people. Because the social workers may have good intention for helping the needy people but at the same time they are not professional in providing psychotherapeutic counseling. The initial issue was that state police office had shared the information with licensed clinical social worker but at the same time the later do not have authority to gather such information.

John still feels as though he can relate with his brother on a new level of trust and respect. “But where was I? Who was I? How did I miss so much (Wideman 687)?” John admits to himself here that the situation with Robby had gotten so out of hand for him and his family most of the time they chose to look away. He has blocked so many wrongful actions from his mind that Robby’s “confession” made him realize all that he had been suppressing for years. John feels like a “hypocrite” because when the TV was stolen his father in law bought him and his wife a new one. With their homeowners insurance though they were refunded 100 dollars. Instead of giving it to his father in law he chose to keep it. When the truth came out his father in law was hurt and felt that John had manipulated the situation. Though this is a small mistake compared to Robby and his crimes,

Melinda has now involved Alex in a sex scandal, that could potentially affect the company and her career. Melinda should have informed Alex about the situation, before the situation escalated. Instead of reporting, she proceeded, making an unethical decision. She was using her sexuality to make a business deal, which caused her to get pregnant, as well as jeopardize her job, and the company's credibility. Alex needs to think about if Melinda is worth keeping. She has been causing issues that can impact the company, and their credibility.

Potential ethical issues with this case is the sexuality of the clients but Human service professionals provide services without discrimination or preference based on age, ethnicity, culture, race, disability, gender, religion, sexual orientation or socioeconomic status. Also obtaining or sharing information with Todd’s psychiatrist Human service professionals protect the integrity, safety, and security of client records. All written client information that is shared with other professionals, except in the course of professional supervision, must have the client 's prior written consent. A legal issue is the fact that Reggie is physical with Todd and although it was the past, if it happened again I must keep in mind If it is suspected that danger or harm may occur to the client or to others as a result of a client 's behavior, the human service professional acts in an appropriate and professional manner to protect the safety of those individuals. This may involve seeking consultation, supervision, and/or breaking the confidentiality of the relationship. Also Reggie smokes marijuana which is not good for urine tests with his parole officer along with Todd’s cocaine use. Human service professionals protect the client 's right to

She could have spoken directly to the owner of the bar, Phyllis Smith, in a respectful manner to reach a solution. The way she acted was not in compliance with the law and was socially inappropriate. Ethics are the standards that are set for right moral behavior. If one does behave accordingly with the moral standards then they are violating the code of ethics.

The ethical dilemma I wish to explore is The Duty to Warn. This refers to the duty of a counselor, therapist to breach one of the most important bonds between a client and a therapist; the law of confidentiality. The therapist has the right to break confidentiality without the fear of being brought up for legal action. If the therapist believes that the client poses a danger, or is a threat to himself, someone else, or society as a whole, the therapist must decide how serious of a threat the client may be, then if he decides it’s a serious issue, he must notify the person in danger, which would e the third party, or the police, or other people who may be in the

Knowing that Elizabeth was the innocent one, he is incited to act on his wife’s behalf. John knows that Abby is making a scene out of all this just to get revenge on him and Elizabeth for rejecting her. He makes his way to the courtroom to plead his thoughts about the girls lying their way in getting revenge on the ones that they hate. John’s feeling of guilt is growing stronger because he knows that if it wasn’t for him having the affair with the harlot, none of this would be happening, and his wife would not be in accusation. When he informed the judges about his story of the girls, the judge was doubting his actions and Abi started throwing another fit to make it seem like he was

As explained by the Arizona Department of Health Services (2011), “Each behavioral health recipient has the right to participate in decisions regarding his or her behavioral health care, including the right to refuse treatment.” This individual violated multiple NASW (2013), ethical responsibilities throughout the course of professional services provided including the values of informed consent, competence, conflicts of interest, and privacy and confidentiality. Social workers should make every attempt to uphold all social work responsibilities to clients in the course of professional treatment and service. With regard to ethical responsibilities in the practice setting according to the NASW (2013), the values of supervision and consultation, education and training, and clients records appear especially relevant to this case. The individual lacked adequate experience and training in the manner in which he was practicing, however, did not consult with another professional regarding the appropriate course of action to take. In addition, client records were not properly maintained as it appeared several progress notes had not been documented along with records of informed consent, treatment plans, and releases of

Susan has to go with the answer that is morally right. What I think that Susan Taggert should do is that she should stop worrying about the health hazards. By keeping mum on this issue, she would be keeping the jobs of other employees. If she decides to go ahead and tell everyone what she noticed, she might be driving the company into bankruptcy. Thousands of employees would lose their jobs and lots of families would find it difficult getting food on their tables and clothes on their bodies. The solution to the problem might not be expensive or the three employees might be doing something that they are not supposed to be exposed to. Also, since the vice president already told her not to spend more time worrying about potential health hazards
