Ethical Dilemmas

Confidentiality
This is a case of my sister's friend, she told the school guidance counselor that she is doing drugs and seeking for help, the counselor promise to help her and not tell her parents about this till she get better. But the counselor broke her promise, she told her parents and the school that my sister's friend is doing drugs without even done helping her.
Not telling her parents is breaking the ethical dilema but telling her parents neither can't help her, only can hurt her, because she is trying to change before letting her parents know.

Conflict of Relationships
Let's say you have a patient who is counseling because he is suspecting that his wife is having an affair with someone and that you found out that your friend's new girlfriend is the wife of your client.
but your friend really loved this girl and he thinks that she's the one. you will be having a hard time to open up cause either way you are going to hurt both of them, even if you just remain silent.

Payment
  • keep recieving the clients money even though you know that you can no more help him, that is why the percentage of the suicidal is still high today. psychiatrist are not letting their patients know that they can no more help them and keeping them as their client just to earn their money.
  • Stop giving teraphy because the client can no longer afford, even though you know your client is in the worst stage now
  • kep giving products or keeping the client  still when client doesnt need the theraphy no more. just to keep earning their money from their client.

Forensic Psychology
While concluding an evidence that might the possible answer, you are giving out your own opinion about the crime or situation, you are connecting the evidence with your own opinion. Instead you should conclude what you think based on the evidence shown.
