Applied Ethics: Using the CASES Approach to Resolve Ethical Dilemmas
Psychologists encounter ethical dilemmas across the spectrum of professional activities. These dilemmas create moral distress as well as liability risks and need to be handled with the highest level of ethical decision-making. However, thinking through complex ethical issues is not an easy or natural process. Psychologists, like all humans, are prone to many cognitive biases that occur in decision-making and which can have, in extreme cases, disastrous results. Ethical decision-making is a skill that needs to be learned, practiced, honed, and supported throughout psychologists' careers. As such, the purpose of this presentation is to introduce the new Ethics Consultation Service offered to Hoosier Psychologists through their IPA membership and review the CASES approach that the IPA’s Ethics Consultation Service will use to work through consultations. The CASES approach to resolving ethical dilemmas was developed by the National Center for Ethics in Health Care. The purpose of this presentation is to familiarize psychologists with tools to help clarify the values in conflict when ethical dilemmas are identified, to write meaningful ethics questions that clearly summarize the dilemmas, and to generate options for ethical resolution of the dilemmas. To achieve these aims, the presentation will first review what constitutes an ethical dilemma, outline common values that come into conflict in psychology, and review the steps of the CASES approach for resolving dilemmas. Case examples will be utilized to illustrate how the CASES approach is applied to ethical dilemmas. Attendees will also learn how to access and utilize IPA’s Ethics Consultation Service.
Learning Objectives:
By completing this program, participants will able to:
1. describe how to utilize IPA’s Ethics Consultation Service
2. summarize the steps of the CASES approach
3. describe what constitutes an ethical dilemma in psychology
