Ethical Decision Making Model for Marriage and Family Therapy Exercise

Description

Ethical decision making can be difficult because some things have very specific laws and criteria to follow and other decisions are guided by grey area. For this assignment, you will select an ethical decision-making model from the list of models provided below and critically evaluate the model in relation to its process for ethical decision making. After providing a critical evaluation of the selected model, develop a checklist or decision algorithm from the model that you can use to guide your ethical decision making during supervision and clinical practice. Then discuss, how you as a supervisor will help your trainees and associates maintain their awareness, learn to find, understand, and utilize law and ethics in their own clinical practice.

A 35-year-old single male sought treatment to deal with sexual concerns, primarily his lifelong history of fantasies of sexually abusing children. His past behaviors included going to parks, watching children, and fantasizing various sexual acts with them. During the course of therapy, he talked about his obsessive thoughts of acting out these fantasies with his 9-year-old godson, whom he would soon be taking with him, alone, on a European trip. The therapist attempted to get the client to realize the danger he was placing his godson in and the risk to himself if he committed a sexual offense, and tried to persuade him to change the travel plans, but he refused.Scenario #4
You are supervising an intern who is working toward licensure. She has been discussing a case with you about a man who seems to have a volatile temper and she has reported that she has felt intimidated by him. One evening, you receive a phone call from your supervisee, who is in tears and reports that she was just physically accosted by the client.
