7. We are to take 'reasonable steps' to maintain ethics in the workplace. See if you can think of some examples of reasonable steps for the following:

You are a psych intern at a major HMO organization in an outpatient psych department. You see only children and adolescents. One practitioner goes by the company rules and if the child (by no fault of their own) is late for appointments by 1-2 minutes every time. The practitioner refuses to see that child because then he can spend that hour catching up on charting of his other clients.

You are a psych intern at a rural mental health clinic with two psychologists to supervise you. One of the psychologists does not like to teach so won't supervise you. The other psychologist that does supervise you constantly 'name drops' some of his local celebrity clients issues without it really being a teaching moment.

You are a new psychologist in a midtown practice. You specialize in eating disorders. One of the other practitioners refuses to refer eating disordered clients to you because they want the income from them.

You are in a PhD practicum and it is the expectation of the site that as an intern you go pick up your child clients, see them in the office, and then return them home in your personal car. "It's the way we do things here" is the answer as to why it is done this way.
