Ethics Class Notes
1/20/12
Welfel’s definition of acting ethically:
Being as competent as you profess to be
Putting clients’ needs and community needs first and always considering their social
context
Using power responsibly
Conducting oneself so as to enhance the reputation of the profession
Four resources we have when we make ethical decisions:
Developmental psychology: When making a decision, think about the developmental
level of the client. This can be a resource for helping to make decisions.
Include client in making decisions (when the client is developmentally ready).
Philosophical literature: To think about how people make decisions and approach the
world differently based on their philosophical framework or worldview. But, are there
things that transcend culture?
Books and articles by experts in the professional field.
Also consider consultation
Ultimately, individuals must take responsibility for their own actions.
