(1.)  Discuss your own moral decision making and how it relates to these stages.

You are a consulting psychologist for a local clinic and have been asked to follow up on a consultation you completed four years ago. There are current developments in this case that require further consideration. Please review the PSY699 Week Five discussion case file (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. or detailed information on the current case under review.  In your initial post, explain how the APA Ethical Principles and Code of Conduct can be used to guide decisions in this ethically complex situation. Provide a suggested course of action for the clinic staff. Given the daughter’s age and the situation presented, integrate concepts developed from different psychological content domains to support your suggested course of action. Be certain to use evidence-based psychological concepts and theories to support your arguments. You may wish to consider the following questions as you construct your post. •Should the staff encourage the daughter to inform her mother that she is sexually active? •Would knowledge regarding her daughter’s sexual activity influence the mother’s stance regarding disclosure? •Should the staff break confidentiality and inform the mother that her daughter is sexually active? •Should the staff encourage the mother to inform the daughter of both her and her daughter’s HIV status? •Does the daughter’s boyfriend have any rights in this situation? If so, what are they? •Based on the daughter’s age, does the mother have a right to not disclose the diagnosis to her daughter? •Does the mother have a right to the privacy regarding her own diagnosis, which could be threatened if her daughter learns of her own status? •Are there other approaches the staff can take? If so, what are they? •Is further information required in order for you to create an ethically sound suggested course of action?

III. Community Intervention

Based on your group’s discussions, you have arranged for a community meeting to discuss the violence in the community.

The following people come to the first meeting:

• A teacher from the high school whose concern is that her students aren’t performing as well in school as they had been. When she has addressed this with them, they verbalize that increased violence makes it more difficult for them to get their work done.

• A minister who is very involved with his community. Several of his congregants have lost family members and/or friends to recent violence.

• A social worker from a community-based organization 10 miles away. He provides clinical outpatient services and has recently heard an increased concern about violence from his clients.

• A teen who works in the local after school program who has become aware of the children attending the program feeling frightened to leave the program at the end of the day.

• An ER doctor from the local hospital who has treated an increased number of patients who are victims of violence crimes.

• The manager from a large department store who has seen an increase in thefts in his store.

• A police officer who is very concerned about the increased violence in the community that he is witnessing firsthand.

• A senior who resides in the assisted living community who is concerned for his safety.Choose one of the meeting attendees and create an intervention plan to address his or her concerns. This plan can be very specific to address the potential solution that will help this meeting attendee and the community as well.

(Referring to your macro practice book for this

assignment will be helpful.)

1. Set a goal for the intervention.

2. Write objectives for the intervention.

3. Establish a time frame for the intervention.

4. Specify a result or outcome.

What if your support or activism endangers or compromises your community intervention? Your initial post should be at least 300 words in length.

Systems and Professional Integrity

Ethics is a code of thinking and behavior governed by a combination of personal, moral, legal, and social standards of what is right. Although the definition of “right” varies with situations and cultures, its meaning in the context of a community work involves many guiding principles with which most community activists and service providers would probably agree. Above all else, do no harm. Hippocrates put this in words over 2,000 years ago, and it’s still Rule Number One.

You have volunteered to run a community violence-prevention program, working with kids who are gang members or gang hangers-on. The kids trust you, and sometimes tell you about some of their less-than-savory activities. The police also know you work with gang members and often ask you for information about kids. What are you obligated to tell them or to keep from them?

If you are actively striving to do “good,” how far does that obligation take you? If there are issues affecting the community that have nothing to do directly with the one you’re concerned with, do you nonetheless have an obligation to become involved? What if you don’t really understand the whole situation, and your involvement may do as much harm as good—do you still have an ethical obligation to support or become active on the right side? What if your support or activism endangers or compromises your community intervention? Your initial post should be at least 300 words in length.
