Prior to beginning work on this discussion, be sure to read the required articles for this week.(I have attached the articles)

You are a consulting psychologist for a local clinic and have been asked to review an ethically complex case. Please review the PSY699 Week four discussion case file (Links to an external site.) for detailed information on the 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. https://www.apa.org/ethics/code/index

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.

Does the daughter have a right to know her diagnosis?

Does the mother have a right to not disclose the diagnosis to her daughter?

Does the mother have a right to privacy regarding her own diagnosis, which could be threatened if her daughter learns of her own status?

Should the staff tell the daughter if the mother does not want her to know?

If the daughter wants to know more about her condition, what should the staff say?

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?

Examine the underlying ethical standards, values, and considerations in theory and practice in the disciplines of psychology.

The following Course Outcomes will be assessed with this Assignment.

PS497-2: Explore basic methodology in psychology including research design, data analysis, and the interpretation and evaluation of findings.

PS497-4: Apply the appropriate psychological principles, theories, and concepts to personal, social, and organizational issues and problems.

PS497-5: Examine the underlying ethical standards, values, and considerations in theory and practice in the disciplines of psychology.

As you have learned throughout your courses, adherence to ethical principles is paramount to your practice as an addiction professional; however, sometimes, this can be more challenging than one might imagine!

Please read the following case study:

A client in recovery for Alcohol Use Disorder wanted to buy a house and started selling her mother’s antique jewelry to raise capital. The client showed her therapist one of the better items of jewelry for sale, the therapist asked the price and the client quoted a price that seemed reasonable given the number of rubies. Therapist bought the item for the quoted price and paid in cash. Over a year passed since successful termination of therapy when the client called therapist stating that she learned the value of the item was worth $2000 more than agreed upon and she requested that amount. The therapist was astounded and she refused.

Address the following in your paper:

  • Describe at least two potential ethical issues.
  • Discuss what you think the outcome of the case should be and why.
    • Should the therapist return the items? Give the client more money for the jewelry? Why or why not?

Be sure your paper is 5–7 pages in APA format. Include at least three academic references. Your paper should be well ordered, logical, and unified, as well as original and insightful.

Decide on your message and the information you want to convey. This means starting with your ideas and ending with your slides, not the other way around.

Introduction

  • Now that you have completed and submitted your final project, it is time to share your research and analysis with a broader audience through a narrated presentation.  For this assignment, you will create a professional presentation based on the main points of your final paper.  Develop a recorded/narrated PowerPoint, Prezi, or any type of video file that is 3-5 minutes in length.  If you do not have the software to do the recording/narration, type up the speaker notes to be read by the person viewing the powerpoint, with speaker notes on each slide. This is an opportunity to refine your presentation skills and to see how it feels to be the presenting invited speaker on a topic.

Instructions

Your presentation should address the following:

  1. Introduction that briefly outlines the rest of the presentation (details about the psychological disorder selected)
  2. Synthesis of findings from the literature review that briefly outlines major tenets or concepts of your selected psychological disorder, treatment options, etc.
  3. Description of the case study and treatment plan
  4. Conclusion that synthesizes your main points and findings about the disorder and offers implications for further research

At the end of your presentation, pose a discussion question to your peers regarding your selected disorder.  Your question should encourage your audience to share their own perspectives and understanding of your presentation as they answer the question.  This will be used to engage your peers when they view and respond to the presentation in the “Share Your Presentation” discussion topic.  You can use this link to post your presentation for discussion, with your question to your peers: Share your presentation by Friday at 11:59 pm, Two replies to peers due by Sunday.

Your presentation should demonstrate your professionalism.  This includes the use of appropriate text and images and your demeanor when presenting (speaking clearly and audibly, not just read the words from the slide, give eye contact to the camera/audience, etc.).

Please refer to the rubric associated with your project for detailed guidance about expectations and grading.

How to Design a Good PowerPoint Presentation

There is no single way to make a good PowerPoint presentation, but there are some general tips you can apply.

  1. Decide on your message and the information you want to convey. This means starting with your ideas and ending with your slides, not the other way around.
  2.  Keep the text on a slide focused and make clear points.
  3. Use an image or figures to reinforce the idea of each slide. Keep the image related to the idea of the slide. Do the same with figures. For example, if you have a slide presenting the relationship between two variables, the image on your slide could be a graph that illustrates this relationship so it’s topical and it expands on the idea visually.
  4. Let your narration expand on the ideas on the slide. Don’t simply read a slide – your audience can do that. If your slide presents an idea, expand on it in your narration.  For example, if a slide offers a simple definition of a concept, let the narration provide examples of how the concept can be applied in different contexts.
  5. Have a consistent design across the whole presentation. In other words, make sure the styles you use for bullets, headers, and footers are consistent from one slide to the next. Make sure you’re using the same color scheme. You may also wish to make your images consistent (all photographs rather than a mix of photos and line drawings, for instance).
  6.  A good template for organizing your slides might include:
    1. A title slide
    2. An introductory slide explaining the context, background, or significance of the topic
    3. A slide summarizing the point or key message of the presentation
    4. Topic slides for each point of the presentation
    5. A concluding slide
    6. A slide that contains references or additional resources

Format

  • Present your project by completing a 3-5 minute video based on the project you submitted in Module 5.
  • Include an overview of the disorder, the prevalence rate, symptoms of the disorder, the treatment plan for your case study, implications for future research and a follow-up question for your audience to generate discussion
  • You can use YouTube, PowerPoint, Screencast-o-Matic or any software that will allow you to complete the recording.
  • Please refer to the rubric associated with this assignment for detailed guidance about expectations and grading.
  • Please submit this assignment through D2L by 11:59PM Central Time on Friday. The course closes on Sunday, which is the latest this can be submitted, with points lost beyond the Friday deadline.  The link for the assignment submission for grading is: Module 6: Final Project Presentation
