Ethical Concerns

The ethical issues in the delivery of supported employment services encompass many of the same ethical concerns rehabilitation counselors have had to address in providing any rehabilitation service. In addition, there are ethical issues which are unique to supported employment and the recipients of supported employment services. This article includes an overview of the personal and professional factors which influence ethical behavior, examples of common ethical issues within the phases of supported employment services, and recommendations for identifying and resolving ethical dilemmas in supported employment.

On September 25, 1972, at San Juan, Puerto Rico, the Delegate Assembly of the National Rehabilitation Counseling Association adopted a draft of a Code of Ethics for Rehabilitation Counselors. The provisions of the Code were based on responses from many members of the Association who had been invited to report ethical dilemmas they had encountered and to suggest acceptable solutions to those dilemmas. A first draft was published in the Summer, 1971, issue of The Journal of Applied Rehabilitation Counseling. Many additional members responded to the invitation to suggest changes in that draft. It was a revised version of the first draft that was adopted at San Juan.While the vote for adoption was almost unanimous, there were some questions raised during the discussion at San Juan and during the three years that the Code was in preparation that should be shared with all Association members. The questions might be placed in three generic types: (a) Does the profession really need a code of ethics? (b) Can a profession that is generally composed of persons who are employees, as opposed to private practitioners, reasonably expect to set its own ethical standards and abide by them? (c) Would it not be preferable merely to state some very broad principles of ethical behavior and refrain from defining for the members what those principles should mean in practice? The attempt will be made here to summarize the apparent rationales of these questions and what seemed to be the conclusions of the Delegate Assembly concerning them.

Anthropologists working in the field of development may encounter a number of difficult ethical issues, although there is comparatively little literature that directly addresses such dilemmas. Potential concerns include questions of access to development and participation in projects and plans; questions about how research is used; issues of power differentials in the field; and the problem of ownership of knowledge. Participatory development research rhetoric and practice has in part arisen out of recognition of these ethical concerns. Through an examination of the history of international development research, and the bases upon which participation lies, it is argued that the concept of participation is not without its own ethical dilemmas and assumptions. A discussion of the history and interpretation of development and participation in parts of rural Nepal is used to illustrate this argument.

This article describes the personal, professional and service system barriers that may impede consumer choice and personal control in obtaining vocational success. As rehabilitation counselors and other practitioners in the rehabilitation service delivery system have assumed more proactive placement and advocacy roles for persons with severe disabilities the tendency to manage decision-making more closely, so as to expedite planning progress, has increased. A number of clinical interventions to promote client self-sufficiency and self-esteem are recommended.

This article reviews the performance of supported employment as a service option for persons with developmental disabilities. In many ways, supported employment has not met its promises as a preferred vocational rehabilitation option, in such areas as choice, empowerment, and addressing the vocational needs of persons with severe disabilities. This article reviews ways in which rehabilitation counselors need to address supported employment’s shortcomings, both in service delivery and social action.

Certified Rehabilitation Counselors

The Internet has become an integral part of the practice of rehabilitation counseling. To identify potential ethical issues regarding the use of the Internet by counselors, two studies were conducted. In Study 1, we surveyed a national sample of rehabilitation counselors regarding their use of technology in their work and home settings. Results suggested that all counselors use email and find information on the Internet, and some also use the Internet to socialize. Some online activities in which counselors engage raise ethical concerns. Study 2 was a content analysis of ethical codes of three national counseling associations and three states that license rehabilitation counselors for the amount of guidance these codes provide regarding Internet activities. Results indicated that although the ethical use of technology has been identified in the codes, there are still areas in which the guidance is only indirect at best.

Drawing from ethical concerns raised by communities of machine learning developers and considering predictive analytics’ very short-term predictions, several futures studies techniques are examined to offer some insights about possible bridges between machine learning and foresight. This review develops three main sections: (1) a brief explanation of central concepts, such as big data, machine learning, and artificial intelligence, hopefully not too simplistic but readable for larger audiences; (2) a discussion about ethical issues, such as bias, discrimination, and dilemmas in research; and (3) a brief description of how futures studies could address ethical dilemmas derived from different time horizons among machine learning immediate results, forecasting short-term predictions, and foresight long-term scenarios.

Ethical issues surrounding advertising have been well-discussed. However, over time and alongside societal and media changes, different questions have moved to the forefront in the discussion on advertising ethics. This paper presents an overview of traditional ethical issues of importance in the United States, and analyzes the changes that have come about as a result of newer, more interactive media for ad placements. Although many of the traditional ethical dilemmas remain, the more personalized and interactive nature of new media and an expanded landscape for advertisers to stake their claims have introduced new issues that were previously not of concern, such as privacy.

Abstract As a music therapy private practice is both a business and a healthcare service, it should adhere to ethical standards from both disciplines. However, this topic has rarely been examined in the music therapy literature. The purpose of this phenomenological study was to explore ethical dilemmas experienced by music therapy business owners (MTBOs) in their private practice and how MTBOs avoid or address ethical dilemmas. Utilizing convenience and snowball sampling techniques, 21 MTBOs in the United States were interviewed using semi-structured interviews. To answer the two areas of inquiry, we identified three themes and 12 subthemes: (1) Ethical issues related to client welfare, (2) Ethical issues related to business relationships and operation, and (3) Strategies to address or avoid ethical dilemmas. MTBOs also shared how they ensure ethical behavior in themselves, with their employees or independent contractors, and when interacting with professionals outside the private practice. These findings provide a better understanding of MTBOs’ lived experiences of ethics in their private practice and may benefit other music therapists who are in private practice or are wanting to go into private practice. Limitations and recommendations for further research are provided.

AbstractAmongst all the traumatic experiences in a human life, death of child is considered the most painful, and has profound and lasting impact on the life of parents. The experience is even more complex when the death occurs within a neonatal intensive care unit, particularly in situations where there have been conflicts associated with decisions regarding the redirection of life-sustaining treatments. In the absence of national guidelines and legal backing, clinicians are faced with a dilemma of whether to prolong life-sustaining therapy even in the most brain-injured infants or allow a discharge against medical advice. Societal customs, vagaries, and lack of bereavement support further complicate the experience for parents belonging to lower socio-economic classes. The present review explores the ethical dilemmas around neonatal death faced by professionals in India, and suggests some ways forward.
