Key Ethical Issues in Marital and Family Therapy
[ send me this paper ]
8 pages in length. In defining the role that ethics plays in family and marital psychotherapy, one must view the psychoanalysis program as a whole in order to determine what should and should not be expected of a counselor. Maintaining an impeccable ethical standard is of the utmost importance in the family and marital counselor's role. The problem in not maintaining a high standard of ethics lies not only in the fact a counselor might lose one's license, but the fact that unethical treatment could do irreparable damage to the client as well. For this reason this paper will consider what the three key ethical problems might be that are specific to the practice of marital and family therapy. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

Love Is Never Enough, Or Is It?
[ send me this paper ]
An 8 page paper discussing the book by Aaron T. Beck entitled, Love is Never Enough. This book is based a cognitive therapy approach to marriage counseling. Beck offers many constructive ideas and exercises for the couple who wish to more fully understand each other while ceasing to bring in their negative, and pointless, emotions into the relationship. While this book may apply to many people, if not all people in some way, it is presumptuous to assume that love is 'never enough.'

[ send me this paper ]
A 6 page review of the injustices associated with the mental health arena as presented by Sue Estroff. Estroff approaches her subject from the eyes of the patient in the institutional setting and because of this she illuminates many aspects of the interaction between the mental health patient, mainstream society, and the mental health profession which are not typically explored in the professional literature. Asserts that the mentally ill are discriminated against in this country by both the general public and mental health professionals. Draws parallels between the scenarios which unfold in "Making It Crazy: An Ethnography of Psychiatric Clients in an American Community" and the popular fictional film "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest". Concludes that patients, mental health professionals and the general public share in the many wrongs which are apparent in the mental health arena and that will only be through the cooperation of each that the injustices which Estroff is so adept at illustrating will be righted.
