PSY 570 Discussion

Identify and discuss the most common reasons for unethical decision making among psychology professionals. In your response, explain how risk management and ethical mindfulness posturing can play a role in a therapist’s decision-making process.

PSY 570 Discussion Guidelines and Rubric 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”
