Reflective Journal
description
This is for ethics in psychology course and at the end of the chapter we should write a reflective journal. I have the summary of the chapter, along with the questions for the journal so you can have an idea. I have also written some stuff and you can work on that and expand it but don’t count them on the words that you should write. This journal should be between 300-600 words. So you should write at least 250 words (1 page) and I have written 112 words already so this 112 words should not be included in the word count. So the final paper should be at least 362 words (112+250). You can also change my words or add more stuff in between, it’s up to you. Here is chapter summary:
when there are differences of culture between psychologist and client, the risk of ineffective or even harmful professional service delivery increases. Cultural differences can be based on age, disability, religion, ethnicity, social status, sexual orientation, indigenous heritage, national origin, or gender. Ethical psychologists should make every effort to cultivate an attitude of openness to and respect for cultural diversity, be aware of their own cultural worldview so that they might avoid harming their clients, and become more culturally responsive so that they might benefit them. The ethical significance of culture is not the fact of difference in itself, but that we may fail to recognize how our clients’ worldview may be different than our own. Psychologists are cultural beings just like any other, but our professional status requires that we protect our clients’ needs and safety by being more sensitive to cultural diversity in all its forms
