Question 1:
Key issues:
• Breach of Ethics/Boundary Crossing: Michael would be crossing the boundaries if he were to see Julia in a social situation.
• Awkwardness: Michael will need to consider if further treatment would be compromised because awkwardness may stop Julia from sharing certain information.

• Supervision: Do any further consultations require supervision?
• Jenny’s reaction to Michael’s rejection: If the therapeutic relationship is uncomfortable, Michael should refer Jenny on to someone else, as this could impair judgement, treatment and diagnosis.
• Right to withdraw relationship: Is Michael aware of his right to

Dual relationships occur when a practitioner is in a professional role with a client as well as taking on another role outside the clinic with the client. The professional needs to assess the risk in the relationship and whether both the practitioner and the client can differentiate between a boundary crossing and a boundary violation. In rural area’s a dual relationship may be unavoidable, the article discuses that the practitioner may have been chosen because of the prior relationship, and that some form of prior relationship may even be a prerequisite for the development of trust and respect in a small community. However, Zur also writes about the “Slippery Slope Effect” in which that all boundary crossings eventually lead to sexual relationships and boundary violations. The author then notes that the slippery slope effect is an unreasonable link and adds that when thinking of crossing a boundary the professional needs to consider the welfare of the client and benefits to treatments, whilst avoiding harm or exploitation and to respect the client’s autonomy (Zur 2004, pp27-32).
Article number 3 (Nickel 2004, pp. 17-22) also discusses dual relationship in a rural areas, weighing up its risks and benefits. Nickel writes that adhering to ridged boundaries can lead to uncomfortable and artificial environments in a rural setting, however boundaries are set to
Although they divorced it may have had its positive sides to Michael’s developments as he may have learnt to not rush into such a serious relationship and also to be completely sure that the person he decides to marry is really the person he wants to spend the rest of his life with.
Jeff and Michael's numerous friends throw Michael a surprise birthday party at his apartment. Michael flirts with many of the women at the party, but his empty compliments and sexist clichés fail. It’s clear that Michael treats women pretty badly and says whatever he needs to say to get them to sleep with him. For example, in a scene at the Birthday party, Michael tells a woman, “I want to be the last person to take off your coat in bed tonight.” In another scene, Michael sleeps with Sandy only to save himself from being caught checking out dresses. The inciting incident happens after the surprise party when Michael walks his longtime friend Sandy home. Michael agrees to help Sandy prepare for her audition for a role in the soap opera "Southwest General." At the audition, the director doesn't even let Sandy read for the part because she doesn't look strong enough for the role. When Michael tries to talk to an actor he knows in the show, he learns that his friend left the soap for a play that Michael's agent promised him. George explains to Michael that it's impossible to get him roles because of his bad
O: Mrs. Thornhill knows the relationship can be saved, the process could be longterm. The client’s husband is not willing to share in the sessions with her nor is her parents ready to communicate with her.
I agree with that point however, the family dynamics were such that Greg was really the only one that was engaged in an active conversation with us. Marsha presented in a passive aggressive manner about being there and was disengaged and Carol was not cognitively functioning in a manner that she was comprehending very much of what was discussed. What compounded that was the fact that Greg and Marsha had not really discussed with Carol her diagnosis.
While Michael was on the call one was able to see the emotions that came over Maureen as she heard his story. Michael stated that one of his friends died in his arms. He stated that he wished he could’ve done more. Michael began to cry and stated he wanted to end. I thought Maureen did a great job with showing him what was important. Such as the relationship he has with his girlfriend. She also asked what would his friend feel about him committing suicide. Michael’s response wasn’t too shocking he stated that his friend would kick his ass. During that time Michael’s girlfriend was on the other line he explained that he would call back. Maureen used open ended questions to guide the phone call. She also took the time to speak with her supervisor about the call. Her supervisor asked how she felt he handled the
As Dr. White restructured Mike while he was talking off the subject at times, it sometimes worked, as Dr. White listened then steered Mike back on track. Mike continued to veer off track a lot, however Dr. White allowed this to get a more positive picture of what Mike was actually talking about. Dr. White asked Mike to explain his version of how he started his first fire. Mike was quite animate that he was almost pressured by his friends, or they would “kick his butt.” Dr. White’s interventions or directing Mike’s conversation was somewhat successful,

The argument starts off when Michael takes a peep at a girl and Frances called him out about it as they both crossed Eighth Street. Frances became jealous as she saw Michael almost breaking his neck looking at a beautiful girl. Frances unleashes the resentful tone when she says, “She’s not that pretty anyway. Anyway, not pretty enough to take a chance breaking your neck looking at her”(5-6). As for Michael his attitude is on the calm side as he explains to Frances why he took a look at the female. Frances later tries to change the conversation subject by complimenting Michael on his weight gain, in a rude but loving way. “You’re getting fat… I love it, an extra five pounds of husband” (14-16). Frances made sure Michael knew that she still found him attractive even though he was gaining a few pounds.

The Managing Director has three audiences in which she will have to communicate her goals. Since the main issue revolves around Jenny’s actions, she is the primary audience. A week ago, the Director sent Jenny an important email regarding report edits that needed changing before sending it to the client, which also included detailed instruction on the
After the meeting both Jane and John seem reluctant to the plan and leave upset and muttering. Jane is showing an attitude while John is displaying a trait.
“Michael, I’m sorry, but we can’t tell anyone. You know what happened the last time? Do you remember how your mother treated me? How she said I was just another girl wanting fame and money?” Madison spoke getting into the Character of Alison Jamison. “My mother doesn’t have a say in who I can love and can’t love. Don’t you understand that?” Michael asked tilting his head to the side. He could see the pain that was in the brunette’s eyes, the pain of always being told that she wasn’t ever going to amount to anything, that she was always going to be the bad girl, the one from the wrong side of the tracks. “You don’t get it Michael, I’m tired of fighting, tired of having to defend the fact that I love you. That you’ve always been that one, but we can’t do this anymore. We can’t keep hiding and I can’t keep having to look over my shoulder every time we sneak off to meet. I love you, I’ve loved you from the moment that I met you, but we can’t be together. “ Alison blurted out as the tears welled up in the corner of her eyes. “Ali, no you can’t just want to give up this easy..” Michael spoke trying to choke back the worried feeling he was getting inside of him, that Alison was going to leave him like she had done before, that she was going just stop fighting. “I don’t god, I don’t want to give up, I want to fight
Over the years, this couple becomes more comfortable with each other and begins to share a lot more details about their lives. Michael even decides to “clumsily” share with her his obsession about wanting to
Although, with option 2, Janet can persist to listen to the student’s problems even though she knows she will be late for the meeting. This would take place if Janet was more morally concerned rather than ethically concerned. If Janet were to use option 2, it would characterize her decision to be in favor of the student, such that Janet thinks interrupting the student would be morally wrong, and it would not the right thing to do based on her own personal beliefs.
