What steps should Dr. Yeung take to implement her decision and monitor its effect?

/in /by

Dr. Daniela Yeung, a health psychologist, has been conducting a federally funded ethnographic study of couples in which the male partner has been paroled following conviction and imprisonment for intimate partner violence (IPV). Over the course of a year, she has had individual monthly interviews with 25 couples while one partner was in jail and following their release. Aiden is a 35-year-old male parolee convicted of seriously injuring his wife. He and his wife, Maya, have been interviewed by Dr. Yeung on eight occasions. The interviews have covered a range of personal topics including Aiden’s problem drinking, which is marked by blackouts and threatening phone calls made to his wife when he becomes drunk, usually in the evening. To her knowledge, Aiden has never followed through on these threats. Dr. Yeung has the impression both Aiden and Maya feel a sense of social support when discussing their life with Dr. Yeung. One evening Dr. Yeung checks her answering machine and finds a message from Aiden. His words are slurred and angry: “Now that you know the truth about what I am you know that there is nothing you can do to help the evil inside me. The bottle is my savior and I will end this with them tonight.” She calls both Aiden’s and Maya’s cell phone numbers, but no one answers.

Ethical Dilemma

Dr. Yeung has Aiden’s address, and after 2 hours, she is considering whether or not to contact emergency services to suggest that law enforcement officers go to Aiden’s home or to the homes of his parents and girlfriend.

Directions: Answer each question in 70 to 100 words. Write answer under each question. Use a peer-reviewed scholarly article and APA Code of Ethics (https://www.apa.org/ethics/code) to answer each question. Cite sources and include on reference page in APA format.

What are Dr. Yeung’s ethical alternatives for resolving this dilemma? Which alternative best reflects the Ethics Code aspirational principles and enforceable standards, legal standards, and obligations to stakeholders? Can you identify the ethical theory guiding your decision (Deontology/Kantian Ethics, Utilitarianism or Consequentialism, Communitarianism, or Relational Ethics)?

What steps should Dr. Yeung take to implement her decision and monitor its effect?

Aidan is a research participant in this scenario. What are rights to privacy and confidentiality? How was this established? Under the circumstances in this scenario, what are the ethical issues related to his confidentiality and/or privacy?

Calculate the ethical complexity of representative case studies based upon the Behavior Analyst Certification Board’s Professional and Ethical Compliance Code for Behavior Analysts and the 7-Step Model.

GEL-1.02: Demonstrate college-level communication through the composition of original materials in Standard English.

For this week’s assignment, you will write an essay that will serve as your statement to your state ethics board regarding the ethical dilemma presented in the case scenario and the approaches you took to try to resolve the dilemma.

Scenario:

You obtained your Board Certified Assistant Behavior Analyst (BCaBA) certification 3-months ago. You went from working as a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT), as you accumulated your required supervised fieldwork hours, to a position as a BCaBA with the same company. Suddenly, you had more authority to make decisions regarding your clients’ treatment programs, as well as an increased case load.

Shortly after you took on your new role as a BCaBA, you met with the Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) who is supervising you to discuss expectations regarding your new position. During the meeting, your supervisor said that the company manager has a requirement that you request 10-hours per week of one-on-one therapy for each new client the company serves when submitting your requests for hours to your clients’ insurance providers. Your supervisor also told you that you will be training RBTs to implement the behavior intervention plans (BIPs) so that you can oversee as many clients as possible. From your experience working with your current clients, you realized that not every client requires 10-hours of applied behavior analysis (ABA) therapy per week and you asked, “What if each new client does not require that many therapy hours?” Your supervisor responded that it is an unwritten company policy. Suddenly, you were faced with an ethical dilemma and you had to decide how best to handle the situation.

Before writing your essay, complete the Seven Step Model to Analyzing Complex Ethical Issues template. Then, use the scenario and the information included in your Seven Step Model to write a 4-5 page essay, not including title and reference pages, addressing the following:

The ethical dilemma (Summarize the case.)
The relevant codes in this case based upon the Behavior Analyst Certification Board’s (BACB) “Professional and Ethical Compliance Code for Behavior Analysts.”
The Ethical Level of Complexity of the case based upon the “Complexity Matrix” discussed in Chapter 3 of your textbook. Provide your rationale for your decision.
Identify the “players” in this case and discuss the risks to each of not resolving the ethical issue(s), as well as the risks involved in attempting to resolve the issue(s).
Explain each of your contingency plans (Plans A, B, and C) to resolve this dilemma and discuss whether you have the skills and the “clout” to carry out each plan.
Explain how you documented each step in your approaches to resolve the ethical dilemma, i.e., evidence of your honorable intentions, and why this documentation is important.
