1. Why is this an ethical dilemma? Which APA Ethical Principles help frame the nature of the dilemma? 2. Does this situation meet the standards set by the duty to protect statue? How might whether or not Dr. Yeung’s state includes researchers under such a statute influence Dr. Yeung’s ethical decision making? How might the fact that Dr. Yeung is a research psychologist without training or licensure in clinical practice influence the ethical decision?

/in /by

Dr. Daniela Yeung, a community psychologist, has been conducting a federally funded ethnographic study of men’s attitudes toward intimate partner violence following conviction and release from prison for spousal abuse. Over the course of a year, she has had individual monthly interviews with 25 participants while they were in jail and following their release. Aiden, a 35-year-old male parolee convicted of seriously injuring his wife, has 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 parents and girlfriend when he becomes drunk, usually in the evening. To her knowledge, Aiden has never followed through on these threats. It is clear that Aiden feels very comfortable discussing his 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.” Each time she calls Aiden’s home phone she gets a busy signal.
Ethical Dilemma
Dr. Yeung has Aiden’s address, and after 2 hours, she is considering whether or not to contact emergency services to go to Aiden’s home or to the homes of his parents and girlfriend.

Must be original work and is due Monday sept 5, 2016 by 3:00 pm CST

An expository speech objectively presents information about a topic. In this case, you will be presenting information about a specific element of the ethics of organ transplant. This should likely include:

·      Medical facts about transplanting works in this situation

·      The values to be considered when deciding what is ethical in this situation

·      What current experts say about this topic

You will need to synthesize the ideas into one discussion. You should not treat each article in its own paragraph, as this will prohibit synthesis. You will be evaluated on how well you blend the ideas and how well you use your own words.

 

Include at least four sources. Two can be from class readings, but at least two should be from scholarly sources from academic journals (JAMA, for example, rather than Psychology Today). At least three of the four must be from outside class reading. At least one of these must suggest a counterargument (i.e. you must present at least two opposing points of view. This review will be evaluated primarily on how coherently and clearly information is presented, as well as on the organization and appropriate scope of your document.

 

This assignment is meant to help you use your own words. You should not use any of the original language in the summary, except for key terms. You should only quote in the response when you are directly discussing a specific point. Otherwise, quotation or any other form of the original language, except for key terms, will be missing the point of the assignment and will be graded accordingly.
