Ethical Thinking

<p>Practitioners face a number of unique challenges in child clinical psychology, particularly around areas such as competency, consent, confidentiality, and the balance of obligations towards the child or young person and their legal guardians. Resorting to ethical codes of practice to try and deal with these ethical dilemmas often fails to resolve the problem adequately, or leads to ‘moral blindness’ in which other ethical issues are ignored (Ward & Syversen, 2009). In order to provide a more complete ethical guideline for practitioners to consult when faced with ethical quandaries, I have created the Integrated Framework for Professional Ethical Thinking (IFPET) that is specifically tailored towards child and adolescent clinical psychology. The IFPET model provides a multi-faceted approach to ethical thinking that widens moral reasoning and awareness and promotes a more complete approach towards dealing with ethical issues in child and adolescent clinical psychology.</p>

Music Therapy Education

Abstract Ethical thinking in music therapy is a vital aspect of the profession. However, little is published on the subject of ethics in the music therapy academic setting. Therefore, this article explores the complex issues of ethics and ethical thinking in music therapy education from the perspective of two music therapists who have held various positions within academics in music therapy. The purpose of this article is to encourage integrity within music therapy education and to draw attention to the complex ethical issues within music therapy academics. Four points are described for music therapy educators: (1) Assess positions of power, (2) Explore your adaptability, (3) Assess possible infringement of rights, and (4) Consider cultural bias in your responses. These points are offered as recommendations inserted into the Dileo Model of Ethical Thinking for Music Therapists for people in academia when faced with ethical dilemmas.

A review of the literature on pharmacy ethics found little concern for ethical issues that arise from pharmacist involvement in clinical practice. This lack of recognition and concern for ethical dilemmas that arise from new pharmacist roles has serious implications for clinical practitioners because of their close involvement in patient care and with other professionals. Also, implications for the profession are serious since a lack of internal control invites external control. Pharmacy educators must provide a leadership role in addressing this lack of concern by systematic evaluation and improvement of ethics education. A model of ethics education is presented that is based on a science education model — both a theoretical and a practical component leading to skill development in recognizing and resolving ethical dilemmas. In other words, pharmacy students will be trained to become their own ethics experts through the application of critical ethical thinking.

This chapter examines how ethical issues are approached differently by two prominent psychological associations, how they are encountered by psychologists, the formal complaints they give rise to, and how they can be approached systematically to avoid missteps. Included are basic assumptions about ethics; the unique approaches to developing a ethics code taken by the American Psychological Association (APA) and the Canadian Psychological Association (CPA), and what each of these two codes provides; empirical data about what ethical problems psychologists encounter and what formal complaints they face; four major sets of ethical issues that are particularly complex and challenging (confidentiality, informed consent, competence, and boundaries); an area of major controversy (clinical psychology and national security); steps in ethical decision-making; and four possible lines of future research.

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.

This chapter explores the concept and practice of teamwork and interprofessional collaboration in the support and treatment of clients with mental health problems. Mental health care provision is complex, ethically challenging, and frequently delivered via mental health care teams (MHCT) in both primary and secondary health care settings. We consider how such teams may work together optimally using values-based and client-centered approaches. We discuss the nature of and reasons for conflict arising in multidisciplinary MHCTs, focusing on ethical dilemmas that occur where there is diversity amongst team members in respect of personal, professional, and/or organizational values. The specific ethical issues discussed are: boundary issues; receiving gifts; confidentiality, and involuntary treatment and restraint. Three case studies are used to provide examples of values in action.
