My question for you then, is “Do you agree with Ruggiero's assessment of the intimate relationship between ethics and the law?” I intend this question in a general sense, but especially in regards the two examples he gives concerning the laws against sexual harassment and Prohibition. That is, can you think of any other (non-ethical) explanations for why we (now/no longer) have these particular laws? If so, what would those reasons be if not “ethical” ones? And furthermore, what might that mean for Ruggiero's initial characterization of the relationship between ethics and the law in general? please type

Sally has been practicing as an individual counselor for several years and has just begun working as a group counselor. As a part of her training, she led a psychotherapy group of women who had been hospitalized for mental disorders. Because she was sensitive and well trained as an individual clinician, Sally did well with the group. Members seemed to like her and she felt confident in her abilities, as did her clinical supervisor. After a busy and difficult week, Sally decided to skip supervision, stating to a colleague, “I am sure both my supervisor and I can find better things to do this week.” What was wrong with what Sally did? What was right about it? What do you think would have been the best course of action for Sally to take in this situation? Why is supervision important for group workers?

IN ALL posts (both your initial posts and your final posts) be sure to support your points with information from the textbook and other reputable sources. Include links or citations for where you found the information -- that way we can look at it ourselves if we'd like to.

Neuroscience for Kids is a wonderful website with a large amount of
information on the brain and related topics...all written at a very
understandable level. Below are the "Table of Contents" links from
the website. For this discussion, select *THREE* links (each should
come from a different section on this table of contents list....so
you could pick one from "Brain Basics", one from "Drug Effects",
and one from "Sensory Systems") from each of the following
sections, and write a brief review of how these pages help to
explain or expand on information from the Biopsychology
chapter. At the end of this discussion, we should have
some additional study tools for that first test! :)
