PSYC 393E Special Topics in Psychology Ethics 3 credits
|
SHADY GROVE - This course will provide the aspiring psychologist with a beginning look at how to cultivate one’s own professional ethical structure. It is designed to be thought provoking and will ask the student to venture into thought experiments which could be uncomfortable. While a sensitivity to all human diversity will be maintained, the student may will be asked to “try an idea on for size” in order to be able to discuss it during class. The issues to be discussed in class will be drawn from the current news whenever possible, in order to keep the material timely. Students will be challenged to consider their own reactions as a professional who could have been called upon to provide professional help in a situation when one of these issues, such as the ones cited above, entered into the presenting problem. Readings may be drawn from many sources, as the topic of ethics is a multi-factorial one and it is the belief of this instructor that no one profession possesses a monopoly on the knowledge necessary to build a sound understanding of this extremely important topic. This course is offered to students who have decided upon a major in one of the helping professions, including but not limited to psychology, education, social work and nursing. Students from other disciplines must have the prior approval of the instructor. It is designed for students in their junior or senior years. Note: This course is held at The Universities at Shady Grove. For more information contact drmelshan@yahoo.com.
