In this paper I will rebut the justices concerns about the competencies of human service workers. I will also provide quality supporting sources to illustrate the value that human service workers provide to the criminal justice system. Rebutting the justice’s concerns about the competencies of human service workers According to Justice Scalia’s Dissent in Jaffee v Redmond (1996), “Should there be a social worker client privilege with regard to psychotherapeutic counseling?” The answer to that question is yes. The job of a human service worker is to help, assist and support their client in the pursuit of living a better life. They are afforded the privilege to have intimate knowledge of the clients past, their present and their future goals.
The social care worker must do everything they can to keep the service users safe from harm, injury and abuse. This can be achieved by following and adhering to the following: * Work within the definition of your job role. * Keep accurate records and documentation as necessary. * Agreed ways of working of your employer which includes: - Policies and Procedures of your organisation, which are essential pieces of information that will enable the social care worker to work professionally and safely. .
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. The possible answers to the question are “yes” or “no”. I will be using rule-based utilitarianism and Kantian deontology to analyse this case study. There is not enough information to consider act-based utilitarianism: Act-based utilitarianism essentially says that one should perform that act which will bring about the greatest amount of good (“happiness”) over bad for everyone affected by the act. Each situation and each person must be assessed on their own merits (Thiroux, 2004, p. 42).
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.
3.Explain how standards inform reflective practice in adult social care Standards inform reflective practice by informing own learning, helping one to think about professional accountability, enabling professional development, providing a way of identifying what is required for good practice. Standards may include code of practice, regulations, essential standards and National Occupational standards. 4. Describe how own values, beliefs systems and experiences may affect working practice Own values, beliefs systems and experience may affect working practice by preventing conflict with others, favouring those who share your values, beliefs systems and experiences, fostering understanding of others’ views and perspectives, and improving communication with others. 5.
Informed consent is a shared decision-making process in which a practitioner provides adequate information so that a potential client can make an informed decision about participating in the professional relationship” according to (Barnett & Wise, 2007,). The great thing about informed consent is that it gives the client a chance to become involved, educated, and opens up the will of the client to participate in their therapy sessions. Informed consent has many similarities in the code of ethics. In obtaining informed consent for research, counselors must advise client and make sure that the client understands the research. Counselors should respect the need for informed consent regarding the structure and process of counseling.
ESSAY - UNIT 1 Advanced Certificate in Counselling “What is a therapeutic relationship?” From the perspective of the humanistic or psychodynamic approach how can a relationship be established, maintained and ended within an ethical framework? In looking at the therapeutic relationship from the Humanistic approach, I will examine how the relationship between the counsellor and client can be established, maintained and ended within an ethical framework. I will explore both positive and negative effects of maintaining the ethical boundaries whilst establishing and continuing the therapeutic relationship. Finally I will discuss how the therapeutic relationship can be ended. The therapeutic relationship is a different kind of professional relationship.
Clarity about what constitutes therapeutic work for the individual group participant and the group therapist is particularly useful (Newton & Levinson, 1973). 1. Group process generally refers to what happens in the group, especially in terms of the development and evolution of patterns of relationships between and among group participants. 2. The therapy group is a social system with the group therapist as its manager, whose primary function is to monitor and safeguard the work-oriented boundaries of the group so that members experience it as a safe container with an internal space in which psychological work can occur.
He said we all need conditional positive regard from our parents, and if we did not receive this is can lead to psychological problems in our future. Humanistic psychologists try to understand behaviour from the actor themselves rather than relying on observations. Behaviourists take the phenomenological perspective, this means that they take an objective unbiased view about something, and they go about studies scientifically. The humanistic approach looks at subjective experiences people have and analyse them from their point of view. All humanistic studies are conducted unscientifically.
Ethics in the Psychology Field Carltonlynn Turner PSY 3002 Analysis Paper Capella University May 2014 Ethics in the Psychology Field In the profession of psychology there are ethical principles and code of conduct put in place to protect the therapist and the client. It is the therapist responsibility that all ethical dilemma, professionalism, values and judgments are within these guidelines.

The therapist has to make sure the decision is ethical and in the scope of practice of a psychologist. Following
