Ethics in Counseling
The research and empirically-derived conclusions in the article, So what do u want to work on 2 day? (Rummell, Joyce, 2010) illustrate just how much of an ethical quagmire online counseling is today. The article clearly shows how much of an urgent need there is today for greater compliance and oversight, with a call for the American Psychological Association (APA) needing to be involved. One of the most valuable insights gained from the analysis and empirical research is just how urgently the need is for a standardized set of guidelines and compliance frameworks. The researchers point out how the APA Ethics Code Standard 2.01 only goes so far in regulating online counseling and support (Rummell, Joyce, 2010). Across the wide spectrum of Internet counseling programs that include e-mail-based programs, private instant messaging, chat services, videoconferencing and most recently, Google+ chat rooms that are used for diagnosis and treatment there is a lack of any ethical guidelines or programs (Rummell, Joyce, 2010).
Analysis of the Ethicacy of Online Treatments
Having grown from multichannel to omnichannel in scope, online counseling continues to flourish as a means for both reputable and unethical opportunists who pose as trustworthy practitioners to reach clients. The continual evolution of online counseling has also progressed beyond the mundane and easily treated programs to where many reputable providers are offering psychoanalysis entirely through online programs (Rummell, Joyce, 2010). This continual development of programs at the farthest reaches of treatment programs is primarily for profit with little afterthought of the ethics of giving patients what they really need in terms of a long-term treatment program that will be verifiable and therefore trustworthy over time (Rummell, Joyce, 2010).
Where trust is the most powerful catalyst there is in delivering medical services and curing patients, the myriad of online treatment programs for counseling has been a fertile field for charlatans as well. The need for oversight and compliance to drive out the unethical providers of counseling services is clearly needed, as the researchers cite several examples of how patients placed a high degree of trust in providers only to be charged thousands of dollars and not improving their conditions in the least (Rummell, Joyce, 2010). The APA needs to step in and define an overall framework for the specific level of training and continual certification of providers to operate online to alleviate the financial and emotional loss occurring with patients worldwide. This premise dominates one of the more well-defined and researched area of the analyses presented by Rummel and Joyce (2010).…
