As you consider potential places of employment for the future, think about work settings that might require special ethical considerations.
Describe three work settings that present special ethical challenges or considerations. Explain why these settings would be challenging or additional considerations should be taken.
In response to your peers, give at least one example of a conflict outside of one of the work settings that could have potential repercussions at work. Discuss how these work settings could be affected by behaviors or personal choices outside of the work environment.

Therapy in Prison: Where Legal, Ethics, and Morals Collide | Psychology Today
Textbook: Ethics in Psychology and the Mental Health Professions: Standards and Cases, Chapter 15
Chapter 15 addresses challenging work settings and a professional’s responsibility to understand basic ethical considerations as well as the special characteristics and challenges entailed in certain environments where you may deliver services.
Overview: You will write an initial post (2–3-paragraph response) to the discussion and reply to at least two posts during the week outside of your initial post
thread. These discussions offer you the opportunity to express your own thoughts, ask questions for clarification, and gain insight from your classmates’
responses and instructor’s guidance. A response needs to be respectful and substantive, indicating a response with depth beyond “I agree” or “I disagree.” Your
participation posts must also demonstrate greater critical thinking beyond reframing another post.
Recommended best practices:
Initial post (1):
Composed of two to three paragraphs unless otherwise noted
In Module One, complete the initial post by Thursday at 11:59 p.m.
Eastern Time.
In Modules Two through Ten, complete the initial post by
Thursday at 11:59 p.m. of your local time zone.
Considers material (course content, other discussions, etc.) from
the current module and previous modules
Response posts (2):
Reply to at least two other classmates outside of your own initial
post thread
In Module One, complete the two response posts by Sunday at
11:59 p.m. Eastern Time.
In Modules Two through Ten, complete the two response posts by
Sunday at 11:59 p.m. of your local time zone.
Must have more depth and critical thinking than simply “I agree” or
“you are wrong”
