Question Answered step-by-step Imagine that you are a psychotherapist with your own independent… Imagine that you are a psychotherapist with your own independent practice. One of your clients, Monica, has been seeing you for several months for her depression. Though she initially made progress in treatment, Monica has been deteriorating, and today she came to the session drunk. Because you were worried that she might be suicidal, you assessed her risk and she denied any plan to harm herself. When you suggested that she might benefit from hospitalization because of her worsening mood, she refused to consider it. Now, the session is nearly over and Monica is getting ready to drive home, where she admits she’ll probably continue drinking and “drowning my sorrows.”Discuss this scenario with the other students in your group. Use the APA Ethics Code (found elsewhere in this module) to guide your discussion. What are the ethical concerns? How might you proceed?  Social Science Psychology PSY 2150 Share QuestionEmailCopy link Comments (0)
