Competency Case Dilemma

Competency Case Dilemma

 

Competency Case Dilemma

Corey, Corey, and Callanan (2011) address the steps involved in ethical decision-making. The APA Ethical Principles of Psychologists and Code of Conduct also presents possible solutions or opportunities for the resolution of ethical dilemmas that commonly arise. Ultimately, psychologists also need to draw on their education and understanding of best practices to effectively resolve dilemmas. This can be particularly challenging if the dilemma is related to the psychologist?s own competencies. Proactively examining these types of dilemmas can foster successful future resolutions.

In a 3-4 page paper (excluding references and title page), discuss a competency-related scenario or case of your choice from our readings in which you address the specific steps you would take to embrace ethical practices in your work. In what ways does the case study you have selected present an ethical, legal, professional, or moral problem related to competency issues? In what way does the APA Ethical Principles of Psychologists and Code of Conduct offer possible solutions or opportunities for resolution? What are the implications of your ethical decision-making and actions for the client in this case, for those related to the client, and for you as a professional? In addition to the required readings, cite at least two additional references.
