DETERMINE WHETHER THE RELEASE OF THE TAPED THERAPY SESSIONS VIOLATES THE AMERICAN PSYCHOLOGICAL ASSOCIATION’S CODE OF ETHICS

According to recent media reports, both the NYPD and the L.A. County Sheriff’s Department are currently investigating Stephen Collins, an actor most well-known for his role on the T.V. show 7th Heaven, for alleged taped confessions in which he admits to inappropriate conduct with three (3) minors.

You will also look at the ethical dilemmas a mental health professional can face when dealing with the legal system.
 
Review the following articles regarding the Stephen Collins case:
 

  • “Stephen Collins’ wife alleges he had ‘secret life’ in court docs: ‘I believe there are other victims’”, located athttp://www.cbsnews.com/news/stephen-collins-wife-alleges-he-had-secret-life-in-court-docs-i-believe-there-are-other-victims/
  • “A Guide to Psychology and its Practice: Confidentiality”, located athttp://www.guidetopsychology.com/confid.htm

  2. Review the roles of the forensic psychologist as outlined in chapter 12 of your text. Next, select one (1) of the roles that you believe a forensic psychologist must play during the trial, if criminal charges against Collins are filed. Ascertain the importance of the role that you selected and suggest the main actions that the forensic psychologist must take in order to play the role that you selected.
  3. Discuss one (1) regulation that you feel the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) should make regarding the practice of recording patient therapy sessions in order to balance protecting the public with protecting patient privacy. Provide a rationale for your response.
  4. Use at least three (3) quality academic resources in this assignment. Note:Wikipedia and similar type Websites do not qualify as academic resources.
