Systemic Nature

Ethical decision-making within marriage and family therapy is complex and often convoluted due to the relational-systemic nature of the clinical services provided. The aim of this article is to provide an overview for a new model for ethical decision-making in marriage and family therapy. This new model, entitled the Butterfly Model, will then be applied to a case vignette for illustration. It is hoped that the Butterfly Model can provide marriage and family therapists with a guide for ethical decision-making that is tailored more for the relational-systemic work they engage in.

Decision Making Model

It is common knowledge that marriage and family therapists are ethically obligated to provide competent care to their clients and that they need to engage in systematic decision-making processes to ensure they are providing the best care. Yet, a comprehensive guide for ethical decision-making specifically accounting for the unique nuances of working with relational-systemic clients from a relational-systemic conceptual lens is lacking. Thus, the aim of this article is to outline the current understandings of the unique ethical issues experienced when working with relational-systemic clients and to review currently utilized ethical decision making models in the hopes of providing guidance regarding the development of a specific relational-systemic ethical decision-making model.
