On-screen Graphic: Ethics ? Chapter 4
On-screen Graphic: A few minutes have passed since the HSP?s most recent
meeting with John regarding the status of his visitation rights, and she sits alone
in her office reflecting on her thoughts about the case and, specifically, her
ethical requirements as part of her role as a HSP.
On-screen Visual: The HSP sits alone at the table in the coffee shop and reflects
on her meeting with John.
HSP: (thinking to herself) ? Here I have this client, John, who?s charged with
domestic violence against his boys? mother. Normally I?d consider this a clear
signal of a possible threat.
HSP: (thinking to herself) ? The safety and well-being of the children is always
paramount in any case, but knowing John?s story and circumstances of his
criminal charge and his history as a teacher, coach, and father to these two
young boys, I can?t help but to feel some bit of sympathy for him. He hasn?t had
any previous history of violence or conflicts with law enforcement. The guy just
wants to reconnect with his children after having been away from them for more
than 2 weeks.
HSP: (thinking to herself) ? It seems to me that if John?s wife, Chahana, had a
better handle on her own personal situation all of this could have been avoided. I
mean she was in bed with his cousin. Anybody would be in a fit of rage if they
came home to that.
HSP: (thinking to herself) ? Let?s take step back here. I have enough experience
with this to know there are no simple stories or simple solutions in this field.
That?s one of the challenges I enjoy about this job. Also, I have to make sure
that I am not letting personal values and emotions cloud my professional
judgment.
HSP: (thinking to herself) ? What?s in the best interest of my client and his
family? What can I do in the immediate future to assist this family with their
current situation?

Ethics ? Chapter 4
HSP: (thinking to herself) ? I think a lot of these surrounding variables will be
resolved once it?s clear as to whether John and Chahana decide to work out their
issues or choose to move towards a permanent separation. We probably have
some time until that happens though.
