Week 2 - Case Study 1 Worksheet

*ALL CASE STUDIES ARE LOCATED IN APPENDIX A IN THE BACK OF THE BOOK. Once you click on Appendix A: Case Studies for Ethical Decision Making, you will then see a numbered list of all of the case studies. To access the appendices, scroll down on the table of contents of the textbook on the left hand side of the book. You will need to call tech support if you have difficulties accessing the case studies.

*The word count provided on the worksheet is the suggested word count for the entire worksheet. This is NOT a word count per question. I am fine with you going over the word count, as long as you meet the minimum word count for the worksheet.

*Please put your answers directly on the worksheet underneath each question. Do NOT format your answers into a paper without the questions present. I need to be able to clearly identify your answer to each question.

Case Study One Worksheet

Respond to the following questions in 1,250 to 1,500 words.

1.      Why is this an ethical dilemma? Which APA Ethical Principles help frame the nature of the dilemma?

2.      How might Dr. Romaro’s ambivalence toward the death penalty influence his decision to offer a forensic diagnosis of intellectual disability? How might John’s “confession” or his comment about the “boy waiting for the bus” influence the decision? To what extent should these factors play a role in Dr. Romaro’s report?

3.      How are APA Ethical Standards 2.0f, 3.06, 4.04, 4.05, 5.01, 9.01a and 9.06 relevant to this case? Which other standards might apply?

4.      What steps should Dr. Romaro take to ethically implement his decision and monitor its effect?

*Be sure to incorporate APA ethics codes and principles into EACH question. Your ability to incorporate APA ethics into your responses to the questions and how you think about the case is a big part of your grade for these case study assignments.
