7 page reflection of the interview.

Summarize the dialog that took place, and explore an ethical dilemma your interviewee described. Be sure that names and other identifying characteristics of all parties involved in any real-life dilemmas are replaced or removed from the content of your paper. Do not provide the interviewee’s name, address, or organization. You might describe your interviewee by his or her job title, mention his or her number of years in practice, or indicate the region of the country in which he or she practices, if these features are relevant. Remember to address all of the questions asked during the interview in your summary. If your interviewee has not been involved with advocacy, address this in your reflection and discuss how a therapist might be involved in advocacy.

As you describe your reactions to your interviewee’s answers include the following:

  • What was your impression of the interviewee’s response to a given ethical dilemma? Were you surprised by anything?
  • Would you have handled the situation differently? If so, how?
  • Do you think that following a code of ethics makes a person a better therapist—or could the code be limiting to the therapist’s work with the client?
