Critique of the interview and ethical principle discussed Introduction The psychologist I have interviewed seemed a responsible and professional person and informed in many areas of psychology. He was easy going and authentic. I was impressed with his down to earth attitude and genuine friendliness. I really appreciated the fact that he would see him self as a normal person struggling in life as anybody else regardless of his many years of education, experience, background and in depth knowledge of human condition because of his profession. By discussing with him I really felt how challenging and how demanding this profession is. However, I was really inspired by his response that “the inner pleasure of assisting people with their life issues can not be valued with money. It is priceless.” In addition we discussed about an ethical dilemma he faced in his practice once and how he handled it. Ethical dilemma His dilemma was whether should report a case where a male client was suspicious of his previous wife trading drugs when she had their children with her. At the end he decided to report the case after advising a colleague. Is worth reflecting on that dilemma and how this psychologist handled it to see if he did the right think or he could act otherwise. Firsly, the client did not provide evidence of his suspicion that his wife actually trading drugs but he was only suspicious that this is might be the case. It is quite clear that the National Act suggests mandatory
Shantelle Jones is a 17-year old adolescent female who was referred to this agency following a brief hospitalization for a suicide attempt. She resides in Rural, Michigan with her paternal aunt, Ms. Wilson, who has become her adoptive parent, as well as her younger sister, her paternal grandmother, and an adult male cousin. During her intake appointment, Ms. Wilson stated that she would like Miss Jones to be less aggressive toward her sister, less rebellious, and to become compliant with the medical recommendations of the psychiatrist who treated her in the hospital. Miss Jones stated that she would not like counseling, but if it was necessary she would comply because she would like to be less depressed and have less strife in her home life.
For my In-Depth Interview paper, I chose to Interview my co-worker Senada Cufurovic whom I work with at Bank of the West. Senada finds herself culturally diverse as being from another country and culture. As long as I have known Senada from working with her for the past two years, I have never been able to get to know her background from where she came from until this opportunity to interview her came up.
Being able to provide treatment to people that need and seeing the results of the treatment gives a clinical psychologist a sense of accomplishment. In order to be a clinical psychologist, one have to have that drive to want to help people. Also they have to look at situations subjectively, objectively, with empathy, and with sympathy. However, one cannot let their personal feelings get in the way of treating a patient. The ethics code is very helpful, following the code allows the psychologist to maintain a professional relationship with their patients. It is not conducive to become very personal with the patients, because that can cause a misunderstanding or confusion of the relationship. The most important lesson I learned from this interview is that being a behavioral health officer or clinical psychologist is a very rewarding profession because they get to touch so many lives and help improve the mental health of their
Have you ever wondered why people do the things they do? Everyone behaves differently in their own little ways, but sometimes these things cannot be understood. Through psychology, people are able to interpret behavior and apply the data to diagnose mental illnesses. As Ronald Reagan once said, “We can’t help everyone, but everyone can help someone”. The role of being a psychologist means helping others by studying behavioral, cognitive, and social processes. This information is interpreted and then used to benefit others emotionally and mentally, and allows people to better understand how the mind works. Becoming a psychologist is rewarding when you consider the responsibilities, salary, and requirements associated with the profession.
On May 16, 2017 I interviewed Jaimie Resendiz about what it means to be American to her. Jaimie is 29 years old, shes been living most of her life here in Orange County. She recently moved to a different county, which is, Riverside County. She has her own house with three children, and two small dogs. Although, Jaimie has kids she isn’t so sure if she wants to get married.
I got the opportunity to interview two distinct professional counselors. I will be discussing their similarities and differences in their professional careers; Based on their professional identity, approach to therapy orientation, work setting as well as discussing unique experiences they have encountered. The interview experience was very insightful in understanding the work environment for counselors across the board is very diverse. Moreover, it was a great incredulity to my ignorance of the daily duties of a counselor on a daily basis. I had the privilege to interview two very distinct therapists with different licensure and outlook in their field.
The ethical codes are strictly regulated to ensure that members providing and the individuals receiving the psychological services are protected against any violations that may cause physical or emotional harm (Code of Ethics, 2007). However, in cases where breach of conducts is found, the psychologist is obliged to report; also the colleagues of the psychologist is authorised to report without fear of breaking the code of ethics (Code of Ethics). To foster an ethical environment in a professional psychological service, all psychologists must uphold the same ethical standards because they have been entrusted to care for some of the most vulnerable individuals (Furman, Downey & Jackson, 2004). For suggestions, Dr Ida should have taken actions immediately when an ethical problem is identified. By beginning to identify the ethical issue, she can consult her peers and supervisors, in order to determine the ethical trap possibilities and critically examining the possible consequences, so that an appropriate ethical resolution can be carried out (Steinman, Richardson & McEnroe, 1998; Miner, 2006).
In our media centered culture that we live in we rarely have to think for ourselves or use any critical thinking skills. Before we have a chance to analyze something we are being told what to think and say about the issue. Even with the movie going straight to video on demand it still earned $18 million in the first weekend. They say that all press is good press, thus the huge scandal surrounding the movie only helped to promote it
The first principle per the APA code of ethics is beneficence and nonmaleficence, this is where psychologist focus on the do no harm to their patients (APA, 2010, p.2). A psychologist is to strive to provide the best benefit to a potential client or individual they professionally work with and seek to safeguard their welfare and rights. The guarding of welfare and rights is also attributed to animals used in research. Among psychologist, conflicts will arise and should be handled accordingly to minimize harm (APA, 2010, p.2). Due to the possibility that a psychologist’s scientific judgment and actions may affect another’s life, they must be alert of their own personal, financial, social, or political views as they may be misused to influence others. The psychologist also needs to be aware of their own mental and physical health, so they are at their best capability when helping others.
For this assignment, you will pretend that you have an upcoming interview for the job of your choice, working for the organization of your choice. You will then answer the below questions in attempt to prepare for your interview.
Two complaints that stood out to me in the Grenyer & Lewis article were poor communication and character. These complaints are very important in a work-related setting. Without a positive body language/character and communication skills, the job itself would become a disaster. During their professional time, psychologists act in such a rude way and bring off a negative feedback to others. In regards to communication, false and misleading information is spreading around that could cause confusion to themselves and others (Grenyer & Lewis, 2012). As any other job, psychologist have access to their job description that more than likely covers the does and don’t with the profession. As far as verification, the 5.01 code in APA describes false or deceptive statements in which psychologist are not supposed to present any wrong or inadequate information. With the character complaints, further actions are taken place if a member has convicted a felony, expulsed or become suspended or loss their licensure for any reason (Grenyer & Lewis, 2012).
All four articles discuss the issues concerning the ethical boundaries of psychologies in terms of their professional and personal lives. The concept of dual relationships, without doubt, can be ethically and maintained according to Chan, McBey, & Scott-Ladd (2011). The issues that come about from relationships with psychologies in relationships involving these dual circumstances are largely open to interpretation (Chan, McBey, & Scott-Ladd, 2011). In fact, Gullett, Do, Canuto-Carranco, Brister, Turner, & Caldwell, 2009 describes these issues are complex and multifaceted simply for the reason that though that can be managed, the dual relationships are challenging and can not only hurt individuals but the psychologist profession as well. Howells, 2014 believes that while certain actions concerning the relationships are ethically right when not mixed with the psychologists’ professions, they are still wrong. According to Howells (2014), there are just certain morals and principal that individuals should always uphold. Undeniably the ethical code in regards to dual relationships for psychologists is subjective, and situational (APA, 2010; Chan, McBey, & Scott-Ladd, 2011; Gullett, Do, Canuto-Carranco, Brister, Turner, & Caldwell, 2009; Howells,
Artificial intelligence has been progressing over the past two decades. AI is becoming smarter, faster, and more complex every day. Not quit as complex as the human brain and nervous system. When we reach a point where AI is more complex than us it’s hard to predict such outcome of something greater than the human biology. I have been asked to conduct an interview on advanced AI. You would think a computer major or professor would be the best option, but really someone who understands; human evolution, philosophy, and the brain would be a much more qualified person of interest to understand. I chose Anton Ford who is Assistant Professor in Philosophy
In this case, the psychologist is presented with several ethical issues which could cause harm to the client. The first ethical issue that arose in this case is the potential for a role conflict. The psychologist and Mr. Hartwig had contact prior to the development of a therapeutic relationship when the psychologist bought a car from Mr. Hartwig. It may not be enough that the brief, informal relationship ended. The psychologist must assess the dimensions of the previous relationship from the viewpoint of the client as well as his/her own personal feelings (Koocher & Keith-Spiegel, 2008). For example, the client could feel that he gave the psychologist a good deal and that the psychologist was indebted to him. This could leave the
I’ve had quite the learning experience over the last few weeks. I had a chance to obtain valuable information and support from my principal. I learned so much about the administration role and how difficult it can be. When I began my interview, I felt overwhelmed and excited at the same time. My principal is also my mentor; she has been very supportive of me pursuing my dreams to be in administrator. As I conducted my interview I learned so much about the principal’s role. I asked my principal a series of questions. The questions were based on the Interstate School Leadership Licensure Consortium Standards (ISLLC). My first question was based on educational programs. The educational programs at any school need balance. While we live in a test results world, there needs to be a balance of focus. I look at the type of student I want my school to produce and I surround myself with a faculty and other staffs that not only share in the mission, but also will help every student succeed. In addition, as an administrator, I need to provide my faculty and staff with the tools and resources necessary to make everyone feel successful.
