IV. Role of Ethics
a) Assess the forensic psychologist’s role relative to the potential ethical implications or ramifications in the scenario. For instance, what is the
importance of maintaining objectivity or maintaining professionalism? Substantiate your claims, referencing the Ethical Principles for
Psychologists and Code of Conduct.
b) Assess the potential risks associated with implementing forensic psychology practices specific to the scenario. For example, are there personal
biases that would impact the forensic psychologist’s ability to be objective and fair in this scenario?
c) What is your recommended course of action regarding the risks you identified, demonstrating your adherence to high ethical standards in
working with all relevant parties in the scenario?
i. For instance, how does a forensic psychologist still work clinically with a defendant when the psychologist would be required to release
information obtained in an individual therapy session? Or what would be the ethical implications for a forensic psychologist working on a
case in which the psychologist is privy to unethical behavior being engaged in on the part of other court officials?
V. Implications of Diversity
a) What are the implications of diversity (e.g., race, gender) on the effective delivery of forensic-related services relative to the scenario? Overall,
what are the drawbacks to being insensitive to and not culturally aware of differences when working with clients?
b) How would you address issues of diversity in your selected scenario? In other words, what are your recommendations to the assigned forensic
psychologist, ensuring that the psychologist will maintain the integrity of practice and high standard of professionalism?
c) What steps are needed to ensure that best practices in addressing cultural competency are considered when providing services to clients of
varying cultures and backgrounds?
Please address a, b, and c for both Ethics and Diversity. The rubric is attached as is the case scenario and breakdown (Milestone One). Any questions, please ask. Thank you!
