| SEVEN GUIDELINES FOR ETHICAL PROCESSING AND DECISION MAKING: |
|
Definition
STEP 1: ASK THE QUESTION, IS THIS AN ETHICAL DILEMMA? IF A REVIEW OF SCIENTIFIC DATA DOES NOT RESOLVE THE QUESTION, THE QUESTION IS PERPLEXING, AND THE ANSWER WILL HAVE RELEVANCE FOR AREAS OF HUMAN CONCERN, THEN AN ETHICAL DILEMMA PROBABLY EXIST
STEP 2: GATHER INFORMATION RELEVANT TO THE CASE. CLIENT, FAMILY, INSTITUTIONAL, AND SOCIAL PERSPECTIVES ARE IMPORTANT SOURCES OF RELEVANT INFORMATION.
STEP 3: CLARIFY VALUES. DISTINGUISH BETWEEN FACT, OPINION, AND VALUES
STEP 4: VERBALIZE THE PROBLEM. A CLEAR, SIMPLE STATEMENT OF THE DILEMMA IS NOT ALWAYS EASY, BUT IT HELPS TO ENSURE EFFECTIVENESS IN THE FINAL PLAN AND FACILITATES DISCUSSION.
STEP 5: IDENTIFY POSSIBLE COURSES OF ACTION
STEP 6: NEGOTIATE A PLAN. NEGOTIATION REQUIRES A CONFIDENCE IN ONE’S OWN POINT OF VIEW AND A DEEP RESPECT FOR OTHERS
STEP 7: EVALUATE THE PLAN OVER TIME |
