Analysis of Ethical Dilemma PSY/610 Introduction It is important for psychologists and other professionals to demonstrate ethical behavior when working with clients/patients, students, and colleagues. Unfortunately ethical behavior is not always applied in situations where it is appropriate and as a result those individuals on the receiving end are treated unfairly. This paper will attempt to confront a situation where two graduate assistants are receiving unethical treatment from a researcher who is currently leading the three studies they are working on. This paper will include ethical considerations for the scenario and notate the ethical violations made on the behalf of the senior researcher. Ethical Considerations Thinking before we act or speak is crucial while in the workplace.

All information should remain confidential, and if the therapist breaches this, then they are likely to be sued. However if the life of the person is at risk or society as a whole then we may deem it necessary to breach confidentiality, however there is no consensus on what is deemed as harmful, and we would need to follow our governing body such as the BACP or Hypnotherapy society guidelines on how to deal with this.

I must report any risks I come across to a manager or supervisor; this can include poor working practices by other members of staff, equipment, other individuals, the working environment and even family members. Failure to report these would be seen as negligence on my part and could even result in prosecution. 2.1 Describe potential conflicts or dilemmas that may arise between the duty of care and an individual’s right.

It could also work the other way too that the service user may come to harm at the hands of my partner while I’m not there. Everybody has the right to be safe and if anything happened to either one of them i could be prosecuted for neglect.
