What will you do differently when solving the next ethical dilemma? Background: Working in a home-based ABA setting stirs up many ethical and boundary issues for therapists that do not occur in school or office settings. When working in a home, the family takes you into their “personal space”.  Additionally, when you work with someone’s children, parents develop strong attachments to their children’s therapists whom they are entrusting with their child’s well-being.  I have observed several of my colleagues develop friendships with the mothers of the children with whom they work.  These relationships start out innocently enough.  Usually, it is a car ride to the grocery store, or perhaps the therapist and the parent may talk about shopping and within a matter of a few sessions, the two people have planned lunch and a day at the mall.  These plans at times have included or excluded the child. Home based therapy is very tricky and without the proper supervision and without properly trained staff, there are many opportunities to develop inappropriate relationships that can both jeopardize the child’s treatment, and which engage the parent in an inappropriate manner.  Scenario: I am a therapist working in a home environment, and the parent has requested that as part of our session we go with them to the grocery store, shopping, and to the child’s swimming lessons. The reason that she wants us to come is that she feels these are problematic times for the family, and would really like some suggestions. Being in new public places can be difficult for the child and often causes him to start screaming. Therefore, she feels that she cannot do the normal things that parents and children do because of this. You know that this would help them function as a normal family and teach the child some skills if you could provide some small suggestions, however, you are worried that this may cause a dual relationship or cross professional boundaries. What would you do? Image transcription textSTEP 5a: Consider the potential consequences of all options Option A Option B Ethical Decision-MakingSolution Chart STEP 1: Identify the Problem STEP 2: Apply the BACB Guidelines STEP 5b: Choose a Course ofAction BACB Guideline 1 BACB Guideline 2 STEP 3: Determine the Nature and Dimensions of the … Show more… Show more Social SciencePsychology
