Dual Relationship
One of the most important ethical standards for psychologists (as well as others in similar therapeutic relationships) is the avoidance of dual relationships. Put simply, a dual relationship is one in which the psychologist has any other relationship with a client. In the scenario that we are presented with, the nature of the potential dual relationship is fairly straightforward. The psychologist and the student have an established relationship with each other with clearly defined roles as student and instructor. Because this is an established, ongoing relationship, it would not be ethical for the psychologist to engage in a therapeutic relationship with the student.
If we consider the possible future direction of such a hypothetical relationship, we can see why it would be so problematic. For example, if the psychologist began to see the student as a client and the student/client then did...
In the course of a straightforward therapeutic relationship, conflicts over payment could become fertile ground for discussing the nature of the relationship between client and clinician as they relate to the ways in which the client may also interact with other people in his or her life. This could prove to be a very therapeutic and powerful element of the relationship between a psychologist and a client (Meyer, n.d.).
However, to pursue this hypothetical case just a little farther, what if after the client has failed to pay a bill and the psychologist has discussed the issue and the client has still not paid the bill there is an exam in the course. The student receives a low grade on the exam. Now the client feels angry: Is the low grade a result of the quality of the academic work or is it a result of the fact that there is a pending…

Dual Relationships The relationship between a service provider and their client is particularly sensitive because the circumstances that bring the two individuals into contact are usually necessitated by a state of mental unrest in the client. Accordingly, the issue of whether or not to engage in a dual relationship (when the doctor has a relationship with their patient distinct from the clinical context) with the client must be treated in a
The second act of the social worker that has a strong link with the given theme is when the social worker offered job/work to the client at his place for looking after his children. These two exhibited activities of the social worker are being and outside the scope of the social work ethics based on which these activities are defied as giving nonprofessional services to the client. These activities
Dual-Task Interference The two channel experiment I attempted involved driving and reading. Both of these actions are decidedly conscious. However, to have a primary and a secondary action or "stream" (Baars, 1997, p. 39) I chose to drive in an exceedingly familiar route -- from my part time job home. This is a lengthy journey involving a minimum of 35 minutes. Moreover, I engage in it daily (during most of the
Dual enrolment has become a popular phenomenon in the education realm in the last one decade. Community colleges are increasingly collaborating with high schools to enable high school students undertake college-level courses while still in high school. This prepares high school students for the realities of college education and socialises them into the norms, attitudes, behaviours, and expectations of college life, in addition to reducing the time and cost of
Relationships and Social Lives This is the hierarchical way in which large social groups based on their control over basic resources. A key characteristic of stratification systems is the extent to which the structure is flexible. Slavery, a form of stratification in which people are owned by others, is an extreme type. In a caste system, people's status is determined at birth based on their parents' position in society The class system,
How Are Dual Immersion Programs Implemented? Christian, Howard & Loeb (2000) describe how dual immersion programs are implemented and the effect that they have on students. The goal for these dual immersion programs is to develop a high level of proficiency in both the first and the second language, as well as grade level academic achievement and cross-cultural skills. Dual immersion programs are implemented according to the student population. The features
