Dr. Goodfriend And Buddy

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.

In this essay, the characteristics of a counsellor and a friend will be expanded upon in order to gain a greater knowledge for deciphering the two.

Regarding step 4, while there are no laws which pertain to this particular case as it does not involve a sexual relationship, but there are regulations and professional standards one must adhere to. Step 4 and step 5 are closely related and are the crux of this ethical dilemma. Ethics codes of all major mental health associations mandate that therapists/supervisors

This is a complex medication visit. This is a young woman who I have treated for (lipastimea) and depression last seen a year ago. She returns now complaining of increasing depression over the past several months culminating an emergency room visit.

The therapist has to be ready for whatever the outcome of his decision may be. The biggest thing will be the breach of confidentiality, but he is protected by law. It is better for him to report the client to the 3rd party or official and nothing occurs, then to not report the client, and someone

I’m going to share an experience I had. Something that I’ve regretted and hated myself for since, knowing that help could’ve been sought earlier. A few years back, I was catching up with a family member and noticed a faint bruise on her face. Naturally, I asked her what had happened but she just brushed it off, told me it was nothing but a sport injury. Weeks progressed, and the bruises became worse and worse, but I stop questioning. To me, she still seemed the happy go-lucky girl I knew and loved, the only difference were these markings. But let me tell you, sometimes the people who seem happiest, are actually hurting the most. And this was exactly the case. Flashforward a few months, and her partner was being trialled and charged under the case of domestic abuse.

A caring spouse takes her husband to see his local clinician. They at first thought that he

When there a conflict of interest between two members of the church who have come for counseling individually, and the counselor in question and/or the individuals concern cannot handle it, the client who has been with the center longer is maintain. There is the issue of cultural and religious values and beliefs which the counselors try as much as possible so that it should not affect the counseling process with their client. The two counselor, professionally and without discrimination, try to understand their client's individual cultural and religious background to understand and help achieve his/her goals. Some physical contact between the counselors and their client can be appropriate such as a brief hug when the long-term treatment has come to a close or if they feel as to offer comfort by placing their arm around their client when he/she has heard distressing news. If the client considers hugging or touching unacceptable because of his/her culture, or if the brief hug upsets our client because of his personal trauma history, the counselors usually respect the client beliefs and cultural orientation. One of the most challenging ethical issues we

In a psychotherapist’s office, there are a multitude of occurrences that may prompt possible boundary crossings and violations - some that may impact the therapeutic alliance or some that may enhance the relationship. Therefore, a psychotherapist must weigh the possible risks and benefits when coming across such instances that may engender a boundary crossing, a boundary violation, or a formation of a dual relationship. Although, not all boundary crossings or dual relationships are considered unethical, psychotherapists should still be weary of trespassing such ambiguous territory, especially when the trespassing can lead to exploitation of a client or impairment on the psychotherapist’s professional judgment (Jensen, 2005). Thus, an analysis of decision-making is warranted in Lying on the Couch (Yalom, 1997), where psychotherapists, Dr. Marshal Streider and Dr. Ernest Lash, facilitate a myriad of dual relationships and boundary crossings via self-disclosure, without taking into consideration the implications this may have on the client.

Depression symptoms. We discussed this at length. I gave him some of our counseling information. Should he decide he needs to discuss this further with me, he will let me know. I have encouraged him to ensure he is getting enough sleep, eating a proper diet and getting regular exercise as well.

The ethical dilemma at hand is particularly sensitive because I hired the teacher and he has been a close acquaintance over the five years in which he has taught at the school. Additionally, he is a very sensitive individual and I am aware that he has been on antidepressant medications for over two years. I am aware of this because when hiring employees, they must supply us with their medical information including whichever medications they are taking. They are screened thoroughly before beginning employment, ensuring that none of the information they have supplied has been fabricated. Thus, I have been aware of his antidepressant use for the past couple of years, and it has previously never impeded his productivity.

The second ethical issue occurred when the psychologist disclosed information about Mr. Hartwig’s to his psychiatrist without Mr. Hartwig’s consent. The psychologist motivations for contacting Mr. Hartwig’s psychiatrist appears to be ethical. He was attempting to establish a collaborative relationship with the psychiatrist in order to maximize the effectiveness of each for of treatment in order to best serve the client (APA, 2002). However, The APA guidelines on stipulate that while psychologist should attempt to establish a collaborative relationship they must request release from the client before disclosing confidential information (APA, 2002). The client shared the name of his psychiatrist, but there was no evidence that the client consented to an exchange of information between the two professionals. In addition to the psychologists’ obligation to obtain consent to disclose information to the psychiatrist; he was also ethically obligated to ensure that the client understands what he/she is giving consent for. Koocher and Keith-Spiegel, suggest elements that a release-of-information form should include; who the information is to be released to, and any limitations on the information to be released (2008). If the client consented to disclosure with the
