Ethical Principles in Clinical Mental Health Counseling
Discuss Principles

• Autonomy

The principle of autonomy is used to address the idea of independence. The importance of this principle is that it allows an individual to have the freedom of action and choice. It addresses the counselor's responsibility of encouraging patients appropriately to make informed decisions, and act in accordance to their own values. In order for clients to become autonomous, it requires two primary considerations: assisting patients to understand how their decisions and actions may be rejected or accepted in the society and how they might affect the overall society. Second, the client must be able to make informed, rational and sound decisions (Aasheim, 2012).

• Non- maleficence

The concept of non-maleficence focuses on not inflicting harm on other people. It is usually described as 'do no harm'. The principle is held as the most crucial among all the principles, despite the fact that they….

Ethical Principles
There are a number of mental health service providers such as an advocate, change agent, registered nurses, collaborator etc. A change agent is the one who aims at bringing change in the minds of the people. His main goal is to recover the patient from mental illness and let the patient to seek for hope. These change agents brings a positive mental change in families, individuals, communities, adults etc. They use education as their basic tool (Powell & Brodsky, 2004). In addition to this a registered psychiatric nurse is the one who work with mental health care organizations and their post keeps on increasing with the rise in education. These nurse work at two levels, advanced and basic. Basic level nurses work with different families and individuals; they diagnose the mental illness, plan the therapy and then implement it on the patient. On the other hand, registered nurses are….

Ethical Principles Operationalized
The ethical principles that universities are obliged to follow when it comes to research are spelled out in each university's Institutional Review Board (IRB). The IRB is essentially a guide for employees at the university in terms of the protection of human subjects in biomedical and other forms of research. In this paper the IRB published by the University of isconsin-hitewater will be critiqued and reviewed vis-a-vis the ethical principles contained therein.

In the Overview of the U IRB (p. 2) the "Common Rule" offers discretion as to whether the proposal needs to be submitted to the "full" committee or just to the chair of the committee. The full committee will hear proposals for research when there is a "potential risk of harm to subjects" (p. 2). Certainly the U supports and encourages "free and responsible investigation by faculty, staff, and students" -- however, all projects require review by….

" (May 2008, p. 779) it is actually surprtising that there are as many people in th world as there are who believe that the poor are those who do not work, given the current state of the economy and that fact that the majority of people who seek health care but are unable to pay for it are members of the working poor, class, a group that works full or greater than full time but has no or little opportunity to achieve economic independence.
Part of non-maleficence is seeking to offer intervention and preventative care to those who need it so they may not have to face costly life saving care. Nurses and other front line health care workers feel fidelity with those they serve and seek to demonstrate this through active participation in the development of ethical standards that are inclusive of the disadvantaged, acting within their political arena….

Furthermore, the University's core values place an emphasis on development and learining. While the APA ethics statement is certainly not devoid of this requirement, as it asks for psychologists to continue their education and keep up-to-date on their understanding of subjects, the major theme in the APA's statement is an ethics violation free environment. The university's motivation, however, lies in the number of requirements that call for students to be engaged in community, honest learners, and those committed to their task of learning.
Thus, by comparing these two documents, one can quickly understand how the organizations as a whole are both similar and different. First, both share many of the same values. Second, both discuss community and its importance. Third, both discuss the importance of academic honesty. Thus, they are organizations that deal with academics and a diverse background. Their differences, however, lay primarily in the foundation of the morals,….

The relatives in this case state that they know the woman's wishes, and they have her regular health care provider to back their statement. Thus, it seems in the case that the on-call physician would not be in error, should he remove the support of the ventilator.
hat other measures could have been placed to assure the patient's wishes were honored?

Instead of merely giving proxy to the woman's relatives, a Living ill specifying the terms that were acceptable to the woman for life support would have enabled her to put her feelings in writing when she was still functioning as an autonomous individual, and capable of making her own decisions. "Of all the various acceptable forms of evidence, a health care declaration (often called a 'Living ill') can be the best. It simply documents a person's wishes concerning treatment when those wishes can no longer be personally communicated" (Freer, 1994).….

Ethics in Purchasing/Procurement, Acquisitions (Contracting) Management
This paper looks into the concepts of responsibility and accountability, and procurement beneficence, through a review of the challenges and principles, which are often faced in the procurement process, by purchasing managers, staffs and suppliers, in both private and public institutions.

There are 2 basic definitions of ethics. The first is that ethics are moral principles that influence conduct, and the second is that ethics is a body of knowledge on moral principles.

Ethics is the grounds upon which almost all purchasing-related principles, including honesty, transparency and fairness, are based. There are several ethical standards that should be maintained in every organization, regardless of whether it is private or public. The standards are that every employee should commit to:

Conduct themselves in an honorable manner in all dimensions of their career activities.

Behave in a way that will ensure that trust and confidence is maintained in the integrity of….

Psychology and Ethics
Test Administration, Scoring, and Interpretation

Common errors made in the administration, scoring, and interpretation of psychological tests depends upon adherence to reliable practices and guides. The concepts of reliability and validity are situated within the framework of the tests themselves, which serves to affect the field of psychological testing by supporting it with data culled from participants. These tests, moreover, are formed using principles of psychological testing, such as standardization, objectivity, test norms, reliability and validity. In terms of reliability, these tests are shown to have provided the same findings following several takings. In short, they are consistent. In terms of validity, these tests have shown that they do indeed measure that which they set out to assess; in short, they are effective measuring tools (Schultz, 2010). eliability can be compared to validity in the sense that both are assessed by a degree of consistency (over time vs. accuracy)….

Ethical Principles on Self-Assessment
The Principle of Autonomy

The term 'autonomy' denotes 'self-rule' in Latin. We are honor-bound to have regard for other individuals' autonomy, which implies respecting their decisions in relation to their personal choices. In simple words, the principle suggests that a competent and informed adult patient is free to accept or reject any medication, therapy or surgical treatment, in accordance with his/her wishes. This principle is also known as the 'human dignity' principle. It imparts a negative responsibility to refrain from intervening in competent adults' decision-making process, as well as a positive one for empowering those we are charged to take care of. The corollary in this regard asserts that we must not break promises and must be honest in our interactions with others (Four fundamental principles of ethics, 2012).

Beneficence: Every healthcare worker needs to endeavor towards improving the health of patients, and doing the best for them in….

Ethics in the Helping Profession
Ethical principles are essential for good practice in helping professions. Counsellors require clearly defined principles to understand their responsibilities to their clients, their community and themselves. These principles outline the counsellor's responsibilities, such as; preserving clients' confidentiality, keeping current and informative records that assist in clients' progress, and choosing appropriate techniques and interventions based on individual knowledge and experience with clients. These principles also define clients' rights, such as; freedom to be vulnerable within a relationship where privacy and discretion are maintained, and trust in the intentions and competence of a chosen counsellor. Without ethics as a cornerstone to good practice there would be no authenticity in the therapeutic approach.

What reason would clients have to consider and value a counsellor's techniques if the counsellor does not apply his interventions in his own life? How can a person reflect on another person's life if she is unwilling….

A behavioral analyst applies the principles of behavioral analysis and provides suggestions about how to change behavior to improve a subject’s behavior and health (“About Behavioral Analysis,” 2019). But as is the case with all mental health therapies, behavioral analysis must adhere to ethical principles. As noted in Bailey & Burch (2016), the core principle of all medical research is to do no harm. This means that the work one does should have a positive effect upon the patient, and non-intervention is better than an intervention with potentially ill consequences. An example of harm might be a behavioral program that was excessively rigid. While it instituted compliance, it might cause the subject to become depressed and anxious. A second principle is respect for autonomy. Behavioral analysts often deal with vulnerable populations, such as the mentally ill, elderly, or children. But this does not mean that subjects sacrifice their autonomy, simply because….

Discussion Week 1From the onset, it would be prudent to note that in this scenario, the practice is not ethical. More specifically, as a physician, referring all the patient lab work to BioLabs where Dr. Smithfire has a 50% stake could be deemed unethical. In Kants philosophy on morals, he argues that all humans have the ability to understand and reason on the moral laws that are applicable in all situations (Barrow and Khandhar, 2020). Misselbrook (2013) defines one of Kants categorical imperative formulae as, act only by that maxim by which you can, at the same time, will that it be a universal law (211). In this scenario, I would ask myself whether referring all the patient lab work to a single entity would be acceptable if all other physicians were to do the same. The answer would be a no. This is more so the case….

Fast Food Nation" is an excellent treatise on the growth of the fast food business in North America. Schlosser points out many of the serious concerns that have arisen with our newest eating habits and dietary choices. Today, one of the most dangerous epidemics we are witnessing is growing obesity among the young. This can be directly attributed to our 'fast food' fetish Schlosser also explains the disconcerting 'short cuts' being taken to meet the high-demand for this high-speed "eat-on-the-run" lifestyle. After reading this book, you will think twice before you ever again drop in to that local 'burger' joint for lunch or dinner.

It is interesting how we seem to be prepared to sacrifice every aspect of our requirements for survival. First we polluted the air, then the water, then the soil, and now we are tampering with and threatening our food supply. Maybe humans are actually too dumb….

ethical quandary revolves around research ethics. Numerous reasons may be cited to explain the significance of complying with ethical standards when conducting research. Firstly, standards support research objectives like error avoidance, knowledge, and truth. For instance, the forbidding of research data fabrication, falsification, or misrepresentation facilitates error minimization and promotion of true facts (esnik). Secondly, as studies typically require significant coordination and collaboration between a number of individuals belonging to diverse organizations and areas of expertise, ethical norms support key values like trust, justice, answerability, and mutual respect. For instance, authorship guidelines, patenting and copyright policies, peer review-related confidentiality laws, policies of data sharing and other research-linked ethical principles help safeguard intellectual property and simultaneously encourage collaboration. A majority of scholars wish for acknowledgement for their individual contribution to a field and dislike having their research ideas released early to the world, or stolen. Thirdly, a number of ethical….
