“…Clients may potentially discover online information about their therapist that includes legal information, private phone numbers and addresses, household composition, the value and structure of a psychologists' home (and photographs), ratings of a therapist by other clients, blog postings, personal images, videos, professional and personal websites, news articles written by or about therapists, professional publications and research articles, and links to social media profiles. In addition to understanding online self-disclosures, psychologists may need to prepare themselves to navigate potential online boundary violations by becoming familiar with the nature of multiple relationships (Bamett, Lazarus, Vasquez, MoorheadSlaughter, & Johnson, 2007;Borys & Pope, 1989;Ebert, 1997;Pipes, 1997) and ethical decision-making models (Gottlieb, 1993;Kitchener, 1984). According to the American Psychological Association (2010), multiple relationships occur when a psychologist is currently in a professional role with a person and either is simultaneously in or promises to be in another role with that person or someone closely associated with that person.…”

Emerging trends online, and especially in social network sites, may be creating an environment for psychologists where transparency is increasingly unavoidable. Thus, most psychological practitioners may now have to engage in small world ethics-ethical acuity that requires an application of ethical principles to the increasingly interconnected and transparent world that is burgeoning from online culture. Fortunately, rural psychology has already provided a helpful roadmap for how to demonstrate flexibility and prudence when applying ethical principles in cultures with great transparency. Therefore, professional psychologists and psychologists in training may need to draw upon this wisdom when conceptualizing best online practices for the field that relate to social networking and personal online activity. To remain relevant, psychotherapy must adapt to the new digital culture but maintain its identity as a profession guided by its historical values and ethical principles.

“…Brownlee (1996) cited some writers who maintain that all nonsexual multiple relationships should be avoided at all costs. Ebert (1997) argued that it was not the intent of the ethics code, or of the majority of writers on ethics, to prohibit all dual relationships, but that "I have often heard psychologists as well as my students conclude that all dual relationships must be avoided" (p. 146). One survey of psychologists demonstrated that there is wide disagreement as to whether nonsexual dual relationships are ethical (Borys & Pope, 1989).…”

“…The authors repeatedly emphasized the primacy of seeking consultation with other mental health professionals to examine one's motives and to help identify potential risks and concerns to which the therapist may be blind. Ebert (1997) provided a model based on conflict of interest rather than multiple relationships as discussed thus far. He argued that the construct of multiple relationships is not very useful and often leads to confusion.…”

“…These gray areas become particularly troublesome in the court system and license board hearings depending on who is testifying as an expert witness, when he or she was trained, and the theoretical model with which he or she aligned. Therefore, Ebert (1997) posed a decision-making model that builds on the models already mentioned, such as that of Gottlieb (1993), but emphasizes conflict of interest, potential for harm, and attempts to tie ethical guidelines to legal cases and ethics committee decisions. The analytical model for multiple-role relationships is very comprehensive, with a series of questions at each step of the decision-making tree.…”

The Practice of Psychology in Rural Communities: Potential Ethical Dilemmas

The practice of psychology in rural areas offers unique challenges for psychologists as they try to provide optimal care, often with a minimum of resources. Psychologists are frequently required to be creative and flexible in order to provide effective services to a wide range of clients. However, these unique challenges often confront psychologists with ethical dilemmas and problems for which their urban-based training has not prepared them. The author examines how certain characteristics of rural communities may lead to specific ethical dilemmas. By being a part of a small community, psychologists will inevitably face multiple relationship dilemmas. Confidentiality is harder to maintain in a small town, particularly with its informal information-sharing network. To provide services to meet community needs, with a limited number of referral options, psychologists typically need to be generalists. This may lead to concerns about scope of practice, training, and experience with diverse populations. Psychologists also face other competency issues, such as a lack of supervision and consultation resources. Other concerns addressed include the psychologist's personal life, and the blurring of professional and personal roles. Suggestions are made for coping with each of these ethical issues, although more quantitative research and discussion are needed on the practice of psychology in rural areas.

“…Dolayısıyla, LGBT grubu ile çalışan terapistlerin heteroseksüel terapistlere kıyasla daha çok çoklu ilişki içinde olma potansiyeli taşıdığı düşünülmektedir. [33][34] Bu durum hem akademik çalışmaları hem de danışmanlık sürecini etkileyebilir. Örneğin, bilimsel çalışmalarda araştırmacıların katılımcıların terapisti, arkadaşı veya iş arkadaşı olabildiğini, bunun sonucunda da oluşan çoklu ilişkilerin sonuçları etkileyebileceği ileri sürülmektedir.…”

Ö ÖZ ZE ET T Ruh sağlığı alanındaki çalışmalarda, Lezbiyen, Gey, Biseksüel ve Transseksüel (LGBT) bireylerin yaşamları boyunca eğitim, sağlık veya iş ortamında ayrımcılığa maruz kaldığı belirtilmektedir. Yaşanan bu ötekileştirme tutumları LGBT bireyleri ve ailelerini hem fiziksel hem de ruhsal olarak olumsuz etkileyebilmektedir. Sağlık alanında çalışan uzmanların da kimi zaman farkında olarak ya da olmayarak LGBT bireylere karşı ayrımcı tutumlarda bulunabilmektedir.LGBT alanında akademik çalışmalar yapılırken kullanılan yöntemler ve oluşturulan hipotezler de etik olarak ihlaller barındırabilmektedir. Klinik uygulamalarda da LGBT alanına özgü kavramlar, sağlık veya sosyal sorunlar hakkında sağlık çalışanlarının farkındalığının düşük olduğu ve cinsel yönelim ve cinsiyet kimliği konularında bilgi eksikliklerinin olduğu belirtilmektedir. Özellikle psikoterapi uygulamalarında terapistin kendi inançları ile çeliştiği noktada etik olarak nasıl davranması gerektiği tartışılan bir noktadır. Dolayısıyla, LGBT bireylerin fizyolojik veya psikolojik olarak zarar gör-memeleri için yapılan uygulamalarda klinik araştırmacıların ve uygulamacıların etik ilkelere göre davranması gerekmektedir. Bu bağlamda, mevcut çalışmada özel grup olarak adlandırılan LGBT popülasyonu ile çalışılırken dikkat edilmesi gereken etik standartlar ele alınmıştır. İlk olarak sağ-lık alanında yapılan klinik uygulamalar ve akademik araştırmalardan örneklere yer verilerek bu çalışmalardaki etik ihlaller tartışılmıştır. Özellikle son dönemde cinsel yönelimin değiştirilmesi için uygulanan Dönüşüm Terapileri etik standartlar çerçevesinde incelenmiştir. Sonrasında araştırma-lar ve psikoterapi süreçlerinde bu popülasyona özgü kişinin yüksek yararının gözetilmesi için dikkat edilmesi veya esnetilmesi gereken etik standartlar ele alınmıştır. Türk alanyazınında LGBT bireylerle çalışmada etik meselelerin ele alındığı yazarlarca bilinen bir çalışmanın olmaması nedeniyle mevcut çalışmanın alana katkı sağlayacağı düşünülmektedir.A An na ah ht ta ar r K Ke el li im me el le er r: : Cinsel yönelim; cinsiyet kimliği; etik standartlar, LGBT, dönüşüm terapileri A AB BS ST TR RA AC CT T In the literature, it is indicated that throughout their lives Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) people are exposed to discrimination in their educational life, at their work and within the health system. These marginalization attitudes can negatively affect LGBT individuals and their families both physically and spiritually. Health professionals may also show discriminatory attitudes towards LGBT individuals with or without awareness. Also, in the field while some academical studies are conducted, ethical violations in the research patterns and hypotheses could also occur. Whats more, in clinical practices it is indicated that healthcare workers have low awareness about LGBT specific concepts, health or social issues and they lack information on sexual orientation and gender identity issues. Especially in psychotherapy practice, it is a point to discuss how therapist should act ...
