Unit 9 Discussion

 

It  is essential to be aware of potential ethical problems that may arise  in practice. Without such awareness, a human service professional can  stumble inadvertently into a problematic situation from which it can be  difficult to extricate yourself. Your discussion will focus on  developing and enhancing your awareness in this area.

Create  a scenario where a human service professional, who works in a small  community, is experiencing an ethical dilemma and then please respond to  the following:

  • Describe your scenario and identify each of the problematic decisions made by the practitioner involved.
  • Use  one of the decision-making models (e.g., Multiperspectival Model  Decision-Making Model Process) in Letourneaus (2016) article to resolve  the dilemma.
  • Create a plan of action for how to manage the situation from this point on.
  • Research  similar disciplinary scenarios in your own state and discuss how they  were addressed by the regulatory board. If no such violations occurred  in your state, you may use one from a nearby state.
