It is best that ‘dual relationships’ are avoided, such as when the therapist knows the client as a friend as this can be detrimental to the client. Records must be kept and referred to throughout treatment, but should be confidential between client and therapist. There may be times when the therapist may have to break client confidentiality, i.e. when a client poses a risk to themselves or someone else. The therapist must also work within the confines of the law, for example if treating a child who has suffered sexual abuse then the therapist has a duty to disclose any details of the offender.
Ethical issues in relation to psychological Research on human participants 1) The question of ethics is critical to psychological research define what we mean by ethics in relation to psychology. Ethics in relation to psychology is the study of nature and basis of moral thought. Ethics and morality is to do with what is right and wrong. Researchers have to stick to a strict ethical code of practice before any research can be carried out. This ethical code of practice is produced by the British Psychological Society (BPS )for short.
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.
Assignment 1: Application of the Normative Ethical Theories For this assignment, I have chosen Case 1.2. This case deals with a psychiatrist, Dr. Smith, in private practise who works with child abusers. He feels client confidentiality is paramount in being able to treat these people effectively and as a result does not report the abuse to the authorities, nor does he mention anything about child abuse in the client’s records. The question the study guide asks us to consider is “Is Dr. Smith’s confidentiality policy morally justifiable.” This takes a look at his overall actions. Simpler questions would be “Is Dr. Smith’s intentional practise of omitting important information relevant to his client’s treatment ethical?” or “Is Dr. Smith’s failure to report his client’s actions to the authorities morally justifiable?” Both would be good questions, but I believe the question the study guide asks us to consider embrace both of these questions.

This includes any verbal, written, telephonic, audio or video recorded information. Both ethical codes assert that the counselor and the clients should agree and set the limits of confidentiality. The counselors are also not permitted to share clients’ confidential information among themselves unless the client has given his or her consent. Both ethical codes also provide that records of the counseling proceedings should be kept in a secure location where they will not get into the wrong hands. One major contrast in the area of confidence is that; while the ACA ethical codes allow the counselor to immediately disclose client’s information on the issue of a subpoena, AACC ethical codes on the other hand provide that the counselor shall not disclose the information immediately but shall first give the client an opportunity to consult with his or her

Case 7-1 deals with drug testing and the author, Michael Cranford argues that drug testing is ethically justified in employment. With regard to this case and defining privacy, ethically the case is made that the infringement of a urine or blood screen is not unreasonably invasive and would not be a concern with regards to being left alone. Under the second definition of privacy, right to control information about one self, the drug screen results are held in confidence and only shared on a need to know basis. The results are not maintained in the employee file, and so the information which may be obtained in the process to preserve employer rights, are safeguarded to protect and control information about the employee. Case 7-4 deals with the monitoring of electronic activity such as email, phone and human traffic and dealing with safeguards that need to be in place so that information gathered is not misused.
