Recommended: Ethics in psychology

Ethically, I feel all the psychiatrist involved should have done a little more investigating into Phillip Jablonski background. Mr. Jablonski and Ms. Kimball informed Dr. Kopiloff that Jablonski served five years in prison for raping his wife and four days prior to attending the session he attempted to rape Kimball’s mother. I feel this information alone deserved a little more attention from Dr. Kopiloff because Jablonski is definitely displaying a pattern of his lack of respect for women and violating your personal space. Another issue which should have brought up red flags and gave Dr. Kopiloff cause for concern is the fact that the police described the same situation to Dr. Berman who failed to relay the message to Dr. Kopiloff. The level of urgency regarding the safety of others and their clients at this hospital does not seem to be high. Ethically, Dr. Berman and Dr. Kopiloff should have formally informed Kimball of their concerns regarding Jablonski’s recent, current, and vague and uncommunicative demeanor. Both doctors were formed not only by local police also the client himself of his violent tendencies and they still were reluctant to act, and only suggested Jablonski voluntarily hospitalized himself. …show more content…

Dr. Berman was aware of Jablonski’s actions and he failed to inform Dr. Kopiloff of those behaviors. I believe there should be some type of training they should have to attend regarding their legal and ethical responsibilities towards their clients and those who may be harmed by their clients. The lawyers representing the government seem to believe that Kimball had plenty of warnings regarding the information she received from the police, her priests, her attorney. Attempting to remove responsibility for the

    March 30, 1981 was a peaceful day. President Ronald Reagan was walking outside enjoying the fresh air when suddenly shots were fired. Six shots were fired in total, but only one shot hit Reagan due to a bullet that ricocheted. Luckily, Reagan was hit in the abdomen; therefore, he survived. The “mastermind” behind the attempted assassination was a man named John Hinckley. Hinckley believed by going through with this assassination it would be a romantic scenario for himself to confess his undying love for the actress Jodie Foster. Before long it was time for the Hinckley trial and after hearing his side of the story, the jury came to the conclusion that he was crazy.

    Men rea is used in determining whether an act is considered a crime, and is applied to an act if there is indication that the act was committed with intent or knowledge or a degree of recklessness. The mens era of murder is having malice intentions prior to killing someone, so the person has an intent to murder. The argument that helps support that Martineau did not have the mens rea for murder, is the fact that he did not shoot the couple, and instead it was his friend Tremblay who had fried the pellet pistol. Martineau cannot be held accountable since he had no malice intentions to kill the couple, his intentions were strictly centred with the break and enter, there is no evidence

After, he ends with the accusation of the white people in today's world that are still racist and hateful towards people of color.

    Ohio Dep’t of Rehabilitation & Correction are the poor-quality patient care that Tomcik received and Tomcik’s health being at risk. Once engaged in a doctor-patient relationship, physicians are obligated to provide the best possible care for the patient by utilizing their skills and knowledge as expected from a competent physician under the same or similar conditions (“What Is a Doctor’s Duty of Care?” n.d.). However, in Tomcik’s situation, Dr. Evans did not deliver high-quality care, for he administered a perfunctory breast examination and thus did not follow standard protocols. There is evidence of indifference conveyed by Dr. Evans, and the lack of proper care towards Tomcik is an issue that can be scrutinized and judged appropriately. Additionally, Tomcik’s health was at risk due to the failure of a proper physical evaluation and the incredibly long delay in diagnosis and treatment. The negligence from Dr. Evans, along with the lack of medical attention sought out by Tomcik after she had first discovered the lump in her breast, may contribute to Tomcik’s life being in danger as well as the emotional anguish she may have felt during that time period. Overall, the incident of Tomcik’s expectations from the original physician and other employees at the institution not being met is an ethical issue that should be dealt with

Using the symptoms reported by the client, the clinician can then determine what the client’s clinical diagnosis is.

    In conclusion, I am appalled that the doctor got off free. Yes, his insurance took a hit but it should have been him. In my experience with seeing a psychiatrist, I have never had one approach me in a sexual way. I believe it one did, I would try to get a new psychiatrist and possibly report him/her to the hospital that they work out. I would be interested if there has been any current cases that involved doctors and they client’s sexual behavior. I honestly believe that is a reason why ethical laws were made. It is because of doctors like this one that thinks it is okay to do what they want.
