Milestone Two Mia Romero Southern New Hampshire University PSY 570

The case I’ve chosen previously was case 9-3 a young Asian girl. In this case a young Asian girl who is unidentified is seeing her therapist Dr. FixIt. She expresses to the Dr many insecurities she has about herself and how she just feels unlikeable. At an attempt to make his client feel better about herself and build up her self-esteem he tells her she has beautiful eyes and how he could imagine her having a close relationship with a white man like himself. And although he knows they could not have a close relationship he would like to. While making his client uncomfortable by focusing on her physical attributes he also showed incentive and culture biases by bringing up race. In the end Dr. FixIt’s argument that he was just trying to convince his client she was attractive was not enough for the licensing board. In the situation culture and sociel orientation played a big part. It was inappropriate for Dr. FixIt to even mention his race as a white man when expressing how he’d like to pursue a close relationship with his client. When he mentioned his race as white, he was asserting his white privilege while implying that attraction to the Asian race holds less value to the white race. Dr. FixIt doing this caused him to be looked at as incentive and culture biased. It’s not uncommon to come across unethical conduct when it comes to the psychology field because people from all walks of life do come into our offices, and we come across many different interactions. Sometimes a psychologist may speak with a client who comes from a completely different walk of life. Which may lead to some barriers like a language barrier. At other times a client may have a completely different culture from the psychologist and because we are unaware of their culture and beliefs this could create issues as well. In some cultures what you may find appropriate others may not. A lot of issues come from just being uneducated when it comes to other cultures and beliefs. So, the best thing you can do is just be open to learn new

things and just try to be aware and alert. The way you interact and do things may not be how the next person does. For me, my concentration area is children and adolescents' developmental psychology. By working with children, I think when interacting with young clientele you have to be lighthearted and kind because children can find it hard to get to open if they are scared or uncomfortable but also be straightforward and have boundaries. Children often can misunderstand things and take it the wrong way so be very clear. For example, I do plan on being a school psychologist in the future so if a young boy came into my office telling me how insecure or unwanted, he felt, I would ask why he feels this way. I need to know the basis of why he feels the way he does then we have somewhere to start. I’d want him to feel like I care, not like I’m attracted to him like what Dr. FixIt did. However, I do think that sometimes there must be a reconsideration when it comes to ethical opinions when contemporary problems are thrown at you. For example, I will be working in schools which there is a chance that I could cross paths with a student that I may already know and may have a personal relationship with. While you shouldn’t have multiple role relationships if I was the only one who was able to help this student I would, even though we already have a personal relationship. I would always keep it professional, but I could not imagine turning a student away just because we already have some type of relationship, especially if I was the only school psychologist on sight, which could happen in smaller towns.
