ORIGINAL: lobodomslavery Well maybe you should. This guy has a few problems at the moment. Being from a mental health background you ought to have some empathy in your body Kevin It seems to Me that anyone in any type of medical/mental health field would do better not to get caught up in the plight of every case that they see. Remaining detached would absolutely be better for their own well being. AMEN! Not to mention that getting personally involved and attached is a violation of the APA ethics standards for this very reason. FOr Kevin, please spend a second on the APA website reading up on dual relationships in the ethics section of the website. For your ease. American Psychological Association (APA) Ethical Principles of Psychologists and Code of Conduct (The revised Code is Effective as of June 2002), Section 3.05 on Multiple Relationships offers a clearer than ever before an acknowledgement that dual relationships are not always unethical. A multiple relationship occurs when a psychologist is in a professional role with a person and (1) at the same time is in another role with the same person, (2) at the same time is in a relationship with a person closely associated with or related to the person with whom the psychologist has the professional relationship, or (3) promises to enter into another relationship in the future with the person or a person closely associated with or related to the person. A psychologist refrains from entering into a multiple relationship if the multiple relationship could reasonably be expected to impair the psychologist's objectivity, competence, or effectiveness in performing his or her functions as a psychologist, or otherwise risks exploitation or harm to the person with whom the professional relationship exists. Multiple relationships that would not reasonably be expected to cause impairment or risk exploitation or harm are not unethical. If a psychologist finds that, due to unforeseen factors, a potentially harmful multiple relationship has arisen, the psychologist takes reasonable steps to resolve it with due regard for the best interests of the affected person and maximal compliance with the Ethics Code. When psychologists are required by law, institutional policy, or extraordinary circumstances to serve in more than one role in judicial or administrative proceedings, at the outset they clarify role expectations and the extent of confidentiality and thereafter as changes occur. (APA, 2002, Multiple Relationships section, para 1-4). boi
