For each situation, in a brief sentence or two, explain what was done in the situation that was unethical. 1. Kitty has a whole list of things to do today and doubts she can get it all done. She hates the way there are always things left to do at the end of the day. It just seems that no matter how hard she works, something new comes up that she cannot complete. One of her clients has told her on the phone that she wants to sign a release of information form for her lawyer. Kitty has the form ready for the time when this client will be coming in at the end of the week. Today a man calls and says he is the client’s lawyer and he needs just two dates to help him file a brief with the court on the client’s behalf. Kitty gives him the two dates and hurries to the next thing on her list. 2. While having lunch in the staff room, Jorge is obviously mad. He spent one morning taking a meticulous social history from a new client. The client, a man in his twenties, was pleasant and helpful. He seemed to genuinely want the assistance of the agency and to like Jorge. Two more interviews followed to set up services, and the client signed a release of information form for Jorge to meet with the client’s physician. Jorge cannot understand why the client never mentioned the fact that he is HIV+. This Jorge found out in the conference with the client’s physician some weeks later. “How do these clients think I am going to help them if they don’t tell the whole story?” Jorge fumed. “They come in here and want my help and then withhold information from me. They leave me in the dark. I don’t know what’s going on, and then they think I’m going to be able to help them.”  3.  A new worker, Jill, is working at a large residential facility for the mentally ill and has been assigned four clients for whom she is to develop goals and objectives to help these clients move forward to greater independence. She meets with the first two clients and then confides to a worker who has been there longer that she had trouble understanding what the clients wanted to work on. The worker tells Jill, “Just make up the plans. These people are a waste of time. They won’t ever get any better. Look at the one. This is his fourth trip through here. No one ever made a difference with a plan, and you won’t either. Just put something down to satisfy the insurance company, and come in here with us. There is a good movie on TV tonight, and the staff is going to put the clients to bed early and get together in the patient lounge to watch it.” Social SciencePsychology
