During this interview, I addressed some of parts highlighted in Ethical Principal 2.1.1 of the social work Code of ethics. I demonstrated professional demeanor and behavior by stating the confidentiality statement and I guided the client to know that she could express herself freely and openly without judgement. When the client and I first sat down I also made sure to set the mood with a relaxed “Good Morning how are you doing today” This lead to start other side conversations consequently creating an atmosphere appropriate for this type of interview. Because we could converse on other subjects besides the actual question. Thus, we could engage in effective communication from the beginning. We were also able to make good non-verbal gestures …show more content…
This interview can be used to gain insight on what I am doing right and what I need to improve on as a social worker. We need to be able to communicate effectively when working with clients. Those skills are only gained through hands on practice. Being able to analyze and reflect on what occurred during the interview helps to better prepare for the next time or aids you to become more comfortable. Hence, these practices will come as second nature as time goes on. One of the sustains of this interview assignment was that, we were assigned a random person whom we did not previously have had a lot of interaction with. Correspondingly, while we are out in the field of social work you never know the people you are going work with. This interview provide me with hands on experience in the sense that I would become more comfortable or learn what needs to be done to reach a certain skill level . While we didn’t get to address some of the skills needed to reach out to a mezzo and macro level of client’s. You can attain basic practice skills that you can grow on and continue to a level where you can address a broader population of people. Overall, this assignment was a good exercise to get you more in tune with your skills as an
In chapter 2 of the Ethics Primer Svara discusses many important ideas. Some of these included the importance of people who work for the government doing their civic duty , 3 types of ethical reasonings brought up by a student, and Lawrence Kholbergs model of moral judgement. In the book Svara brings up how people in certain roles have a job to do. They must meet the expectations expected of them or they aren’t serving the public in a full capacity. As you read on the 3 types of ethical reasonings are discussed. They are virtue, principle, and to be a public employee. This student I feel has a pretty spot on idea of how people should act. Honesty and following the law are just things ethically sound people should be doing. It doesn't take a genious to understand right from wrong. Finally a major point of the chapter discussed Lawrence Kohlberg and his model of moral judgement. “Lawrence kholberg (1981) offers a model of moral judgement to help understand how the capacity for ethical reasoning develops and explains the motives for acting at different stages of development”.(23) More specifically he gives the six stages of maturity children go through. These being punishment and obedience, instrumental relativist, good boy;nice girl, society maintaining/law and order, social contract, universal ethical

K., & Hull, G. H., Jr., 2018). The initial meeting can make or break a worker-client relationship. It is important to be prepared and show the client that you are there to listen and help them with whatever they may need. The engagement step requires the social worker to utilize both, verbal and nonverbal skills, to build rapport. Also, it is important for the social worker to state their purpose and role (Kirst-Ashman, K. K., & Hull, G. H., Jr., 2018). In this role play, I did not tell the client my purpose or role. I should have stated my name along with my title, social worker. Also, I would have mentioned that my duties were to do the intake and design and create treatment plans with goals and interventions detailed to the specific client needs. I need to be more aware of my nonverbal behavior. There was eye contact made between the client and me. However, I did scratch my arm and my side which is a tell of my nervousness. If I were to do that in an initial meeting, the client may notice, and it might seem that I do not want to be there. It is important to be aware of your body movements, which includes knowing what is acceptable to different
I learned to understand the basic elements of the interview through the social worker’s skills checklist that was given at the beginning of each mock interview. Through the checklist I learned the importance of building a rapport with clients, the funneling technique, naming feelings, naming feelings, paraphrasing, engaging in supportive collaborative behaviors, and how to appropriately
Throughout the semester I have been working towards accomplishing some goals that I set out for interviewing. This essay will critically analyze the fourth session interview between myself and my client, Jessie. The session was about a 35-year-old woman who was feeling unhappy and lonely, after going through a separation with her husband of ten years. In this session, Jessie was feeling especially unhappy and confessed some suicidal thoughts. Throughout this interview, I used my learning goals, including focusing on the current situation, using appropriate body language, and focusing on client goals, which are all discussed in the Appendix. This essay will discuss how I was able to work on those learning goals, and whether or
This discussion is going to unpack key ethical principles that need to be considered when carrying out educational research in early childhood settings within Aotearoa New Zealand. The implications the principles have in regards for carrying out this research are going to be defined. This discussion is going to show an understanding of the culturally bound nature of ethics.
There are a variety of different ethical systems that have developed of the course of millennia. However, even though the subject has been covered so thoroughly, it is still heavily debated. The varieties of ethical systems that are in existence look at various ethical problems from different perspectives and can be applied differently in different circumstances. Because of the subjective aspects to applying ethics, they can be as much an art as they are a science. Ethics are something that must be practiced and really cannot be perfected. In this way, studying ethics is a continual process that does not really stop. This paper will argue that ethics are the most important subject that an individual can pursue.
Ethics are important in our everyday lives and in every professional field. There are three ethical ideas that are important to me. The first ethical idea that is important to me is the ethical duty of confidentiality. The second is building the theoretic relationship. The third is therapy for therapists.
In the article “A Question of Ethics” the author explains that animal testing isn’t necessary. They argue that animals feel pain and don’t understand, that the conditions they are kept in is horrible, and that there are other ways to study the effects of medication. They question the readers how this treatment of animals could ever be ethical.
In making ethical principles, decision and applying them in this case study scenarios; there are approaches to ethical analysis in addition to ethical systems and principles that will need to be considered especially where power and authority become the main issue and principle. John Rawls (1957) presented an abstract procedure for deciding moral issues. He stated that “moral principles can be developed through inductive logic which is through moral judgments such as common sense, open mind, personal emotions and sympathetic knowledge of humans”. Looking at police abuse of power, (Pollock 2012) described “this as the actions where an officer physically injured or offends a citizen’s sense of dignity. (p.225). When a police officer become corrupt, the citizen’s dignity becomes shattered. Marsh (2006) also stated that power in capitalist societies is not just about formal and institutionalized control and includes the ability to influence the way people think through controlling knowledge and ideas”. (p.121)
Morality, ethical principles, and legal principles are not synonymous with each other. Morality has to do with what is right and wrong, ethical principles has to do with the inherent guiding principles of a person, and legal principles are rules and law that have been set out by an overseeing entity. A health care professional can be compliant to all three, two, only one, or none of above mentioned depending on the case.
After analyzing your current situation I might look at the case with regard to three theories to help you with the correct ethical behavior. There are two courses of action, which I can be recommended:
Ethics is a crucial principle in human lives. It is necessary here to clarify exactly what is meant by Ethics. The term ethics may be defined as “a set of principles and concepts that guide people to determine what behavior helps or harms sentient creatures” (Paul & Elder, 2006). Generally, in all nations and cultures, parents always teach their children the importance of truthfulness, forgiveness and honesty and all of that consider as parts of morality. Thus, in individual level, morality is significant, therefore, in organizational level morality and integrity should be at the same level of importance.
