Mike 's Case Worker And Therapist

Leo Marvin unethically sent Bob into involuntary hospitalization. Bob was not in such a state that would deem involuntary hospitalization appropriate. Bob’s unrelenting presence was obviously exhausting and overwhelming, and Dr. Leo Marvin saw this as his last hope to have Bob removed before his big interview. Having a client violate boundaries can understandably leave a therapist desperate for solitude but one still needs to act appropriately and not out of desperation. Dr. Leo Marvin’s reputation was also at steak, trying to commit a man whom everyone else seems to get along with and enjoy could have had very embarrassing and negative effects for him within the mental health

John is a loyal person, and has a very assertive mindset. He seems to want to have social attention, because of the neglect he faces at home. John has a very hard home life, with an abusive alcoholic father. Other than him having an alcoholic father, John and I are very different. I am not, and never have been neglected in any way, and I do not choose to have the trust and friendship of people around me.

Tracy, a seventh grade girl in the movie Thirteen, provides a glimpse into the dangers of negative adolescent development. She was an honor student who was content playing with Barbies, but she was also desperate for acceptance and affection. Tracy meets Evie, a popular girl who engages in destructive behavior. Tracy’s only goal becomes emulating Evie, and she embarks on a path of self-destruction. Tracy, who is in early adolescence, is at the peak of her most critical developmental stage (Capuzzi & Gross, 2014), and is willing to do whatever it takes to belong. Throughout the movie, we see her struggle with low self-esteem, anger, dysfunctional relationships, self-harm, and substance abuse. Vernon (2009), discusses Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, which can be utilized with Tracy. Vernon (2009) notes that when needs of safety, belonging, love, and respect are not met, children respond emotionally, cognitively, physically, and socially, depending on their developmental level. The degree of development also impacts how children react to common developmental difficulties and situational problems. Vernon (2009) adds, “…how children interpret and respond to basic needs, as well as typical and situational problems, can result in various self-defeating behaviors” (p.3). Applying this to Tracy, we see that her basic needs of

In addition maybe setting up a video camera that is detectable to have proof of Leo’s action and how it is not only affecting the clients but the psychology department as well. It would not be wise to contact Leo's supervisor because they might have a bias opinion of him and only give you glowing reviews instead of digging deeper than what is going on. If I were Dr.Vaji I would wait until I have proof before I talk to both Leo and the supervisor handling him.

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

The video presentation, Legal and ethical issues for mental health professionals, Vol. 2: Dual relationship boundaries, standards of care & termination (Feldman & Sommers, 2010), is broken up into four vignettes: dual relationships and boundaries, gift giving and touch, beginning treatment, and terminating treatment. Boundary violations occur when there is no clinical purpose for a

During my first week of fieldwork I observed a patient in the therapy gym. She was working with physical therapy and the therapist was trying to get her to stand and take a few steps. Even with consistent encouragement from the therapist, her anxiety got the best of her and she refused to walk. That same week she got put on my supervisor’s caseload. Before, we went in to see the patient, my supervisor me told that she had a feeling that we would get denied. Once we entered the room the patient was lying in bed, she had empty soda cans, empty wrappers, and half eaten food in her room. She was very friendly to my supervisor and was more than happy to chat with her. However, once we mentioned therapy the patient’s anxiety increased and she gave every excuse to not attend therapy. Even with education from my supervisor why she should attend therapy, she refused.

Casey Wilson earned his degree from McLennan Community College in 2011, and has been working as a physical therapy assistant at D1 Waco and Elite Sports Medicine Center since 2013.

In clinical practice it is wise for mental health professionals to monitor boundary crossing or multiple relationships. These roles have the potential for therapist to use power inappropriately through influence or exploitation of clients. Therefore it is essential to continually monitor the impact of the behavior on clients (Corey et al., 2011). From ethical perspective dual relationships in its self is not a malpractice. The legal aspect depends on the nature of the relationships.

I have been greatly affected both physically and mentally in working with Mani over the past two months. In the past two months, my stress levels have increased dramatically, making it hard to focus in school and work, and more importantly it has made it harder to enjoy my time off work with my wife and children. I have also experience a loss of motivation both at work and in my personal life due to the frustrations that stem from being verbally abused daily. Mani has also created a lot of anxiety within me while at work, as I constantly feel on edge due to the constant posturing, and aggressive behavior. I also feel that Mani jeopardizes the safety and security of the facility with his ongoing negative/ aggressive behavior with both staff

These boundary issues were addressed in the enrollment process of the soldier in a Rehabilitation Treatment Meeting (RTM) in which family would be included with the soldier, along with his command and/or the soldier’s supervisor. The counselor would first staff the case with their supervisor. Walker & Clark (1999) report that the counselor should obtain close supervision to anticipate or head off any possible ethical violation by intervening, when they see signs of boundary problems that may appear.

The therapist and client relationship is important in effective therapy. The therapeutic relationship must be built upon before any technique and theory will be effective. Communicating real empathy and showing a genuine interest in the client will begin a solid therapeutic foundation. However, the therapist must “have the ability to stay outside the system while maintaining some emotional attachment to its members” (Patterson, Williams, Edwards, Chamow, & Grauf-Grounds, 2009, p. 107). This paper reviews and critiques an interview I recorded of a couple that pertains to clutter building up around the house. The goal of this activity was to seek out information using various questioning techniques and basic interviewing skills, and

The liquidity ratios of the firm are slightly below the industry averages. This is due to inventory and accounts receivable making up a significantly larger portion of the current assets than cash and marketable securities. This may be indicative of a problem with inventory management and/or collection on accounts.

Ken and I had a very unpleasant meeting. Ken wouldn't hear about the employee assistance program, so I recommended he see a therapist. Well, Ken felt humiliated. The only reason he went is because he believed he was under pressure from Bob to do something. The therapist is nutstanding and works with people like Ken .ill

About 2:30 in the afternoon, M.E. was in her patient’s room and J.P. confronted her in front of the respiratory staff and students that were present about why she was/wasn’t doing certain things and what was making her so slow; J.P. caught M.E. off guard and was very abrasive, belittling and verbally abusive; M.E. felt attacked and embarrassed, especially since this behavior took place in front of colleagues. J.P. felt frustrated that M.E. was not more competent and efficient in her care and confronted her about it. After the confrontation, there were no words spoken between the two of them for days and even though months have passed, there is still an obvious tension and unresolved conflict between these two individuals. There is currently a noticeable effort being put forth by both women but the conflict they experienced is not yet fixed.
