A psychologist treating an adult woman for bulimia, with the patient’s permission, invited her husband to participate in family therapy sessions where the focus was on the woman’s health. Whether the husband was currently in therapy with another professional was not an issue because the reason he had been approached was to participate in therapy where the wife was the identified patient. Is this scenario Ethical or Unethical? If Ethical select True or Unethical select False.
A psychologist developed a professional website to advertise his music therapy practice for children. The website also included a link to a site where the psychologist advertised his services as a piano teacher (3.05, Multiple Relationship). Is this scenario Ethical or Unethical? If Ethical select True or Unethical select False.
In response to a reporter’s request for background on a highly publicized murder, a psychologist described details of items on psychological tests typically administered in these cases. Is this scenario Ethical or Unethical? If Ethical select True or Unethical select False.
A clinical child psychologist sought to generate clients by speaking to breast cancer survivor support groups about “serious psychological disorders of childhood” that “often” emerge in children as a reaction to maternal illness. Is this scenario Ethical or Unethical? If Ethical select True or Unethical select False.
A psychologist used testimonials from current clients on a website advertising his Internet-based counseling services. Is this scenario Ethical or Unethical? If Ethical select True or Unethical select False.
Statement 1
The scenario is ethical because a person engaged with other mental disorder can help their family or friends, this decision will help both participants. So the decision of doctors seems to be ethical.
Statement 2
I think the scenario is not ethical because the website was developed to advertise music therapy but the psychologist is trying to use as multiple advertising programs rather than the therapeutic program.
Statement 3
The scenario is not ethical because there is no correlation between breast cancer and serious psychological disorder in childhood. While in some cases the condition emerges from birth.
Statement 4
The scenario is ethical because the psychologist is sharing the real evidence rather than theoretical shreds of evidence. So using client’s testimonials is ethical if the psychologist received permission.
