Discussion 2

Ethics Debate and Professional Discourse

For professionals in psychology, it is important to critically evaluate ethical actions by gathering information and considering alternatives. It is important for psychology professionals to be able to present alternatives and respectfully agree, but also to respectfully disagree.

For this discussion, select one of the case studies from the Ethical Case Studies media. Summarize the case you selected in your own words. Supporting your thinking with specific ethical principles and standards, construct an initial post with a recommended clear course of action for the instructor in the case you selected.
