RE: Discussion Question w4 Ethical Boundaries, psychology homework help
Question A: Ethical Boundaries (200 word minimum with 1 peer reviewed reference. Make sure to include your opinion, observation, etc)
Ethical decisions are not always easy. Consider the consequences for everyone invited to the party.
Ethical decisions during a career can occur every day. It may be as simple as giving a client money for bus fare home, to accepting gifts, telling a joke that the therapist thought was funny, to sexual misconduct. Boundaries are divided into two types: 1. Boundary crossings (not unethical) and boundary violations (unethical). It is important to monitor our own behavior but we also have a responsibility to monitor the behavior of others in our profession. What would you do?

Discuss the following.
A client has been seeing her therapist for over a year and has worked on recovering from addiction. In addition, there has been significant progress in the area of the client’s personal relationships. Because of her progress, the client wants to have a small dinner party with selected family members and friends to celebrate a milestone in her recovery. At various points during therapy, the client has included all these selected individuals in her therapy sessions. The client invites her therapist to attend as part of her celebration. Should the therapist attend? Why or why not? What are the possible implications for the therapeutic relationship as a result of going or not going?

Question C: Sub-specialties within clinical psychology (200 word minimum with 1 peer reviewed reference. Make sure to include your opinion, observation, etc)
It is common for a clinical psychologist to have several specialty areas and to gather more education and training to add another specialty to his or her vita. Psychology is ever-changing and the field allows the psychologist to branch out and develop new skills.
Clinical psychology subspecialities
In this discussion, do some research on one or two clinical subspecialties of cognitive psychology. Obviously, learning the basic skills of therapy and treatment takes several years to master (?) but some subspecialties such as neuropsychology are often developed during an internship or post-doctoral program. Some subspecialties are developed under supervision as a result of where the clinician is employed. That is how I ended up in a forensic setting working with individuals who had committed sexual crimes. Others are developed later because of new information in the field or a need for a change.
What interests you as a subspecialty? Why?
