Ethical Issues In Occupational Therapy Essay

Two are duties to ourselves - namely that of cultivating our intellectual talents and preserving ourselves (hence forbidding suicide), and two are duties to others, namely honesty in promises and helping them to achieve their own ends (G 4:29-30). I will discuss the plausibility (and implausibility) of two of these examples. First, to discuss the most plausible of these examples, I will assess our duty toward others to contribute to the fulfillment of their ends. This example encourages that we not only refrain from taking away from other’s happiness but that we actively and positively work to contribute to others’ happiness (G 4:430). I think that this is plausible and effective because, as Kant argued, if this standard was universalized - in other words, if everyone worked to contribute to their own, and to each other’s happiness and wellbeing - we can potentially actualize the virtues of harmonious and respectful coexistence.

A therapist plays a passive but very important role in order to make the therapy work. The therapist needs to see that the therapy goes in the correct direction and that the client can achieve the goals easily, effectively and in a way that gives the client maximum benefit. While active listening is one of the most vital practices in a client-centered therapy, there are many roles and suggestions for client-centered therapists that they should keep in mind to facilitate successful therapy sessions. Following are some definite roles that a therapist must carry out:- • Genuine empathy – This refers to the therapist’s ability to see and understand issues and situations from the client’s perspective. When the therapist is able to show an empathetic understanding of what the client is experiencing, it helps the client have a better inner understanding as well.

However, multiple reasons are responsible to choose the nursing profession. Some reasons might be plain to recognize by the nurse, but sometimes the reasons might linger in the subconscious. Therefore, people might not always be aware of all the reasons for choosing the profession. However, developing great skills at the nursing profession requires the knowledge of why the particular profession appeared appealing to the individual.

In his “’No.’ : The Narrative Theorizing of Embodied Agency in Octavia Butler’s Kindred,” Bast underscores humanity’s desire for agency, one’s “ability to reach decision[s] about themselves and [express them]” and how one’s agency can benefit a society or a community (Bast 151). In the beginning of his article, Bast labels this decision-making and expression as beneficial and necessary for a community, while simultaneously underlining society’s limitations put on mankind’s freedoms such as discrimination, prejudice, or injustice. Nevertheless, he follows up by stating that it is simply human instinct to want to express thoughts even if other factors oppress them, undermining these social limitations.

A key concept of Person-centered therapy is trust towards individuals ' ability to work in a beneficial way for self-fullfillment and autonomy, if current conditions provoke this self-growth process. This particular directional process towards “self-maturity” is formally defined as “actualizing tendency”; which for me is a quite inspiring and positive view that holds the belief that people have an inner capacity of self-healing and replenishing possible maladjustment without implying a movement away from interpersonal relationships and interdependence (Broadley, 1999). Personal thoughts of mine reflect the same point of view; one can heal himself/herself and realize his/her self-fulling life goals if there is qualitative time and qualitative thinking and try in his/her life. Firstly, by replenishing facades and progressively, by dealing with his 'her dysfunctional and “unwanted” emotions and behaviors. With the same perspective, PCT therapy relies on the assumption that people are already aware of the factors in their lives that makes them unhappy.

I chose this competency because it teaches me that I need to have a positive self-esteem and a great attitude towards my patients, colleagues and every situation in order to be able to provide holistic quality care. 2. The article taught me that fitness to practice, includes being accountable and responsible to cope with stress and know how to balance your duty to care for patients; and an equal duty to ensure that fitness to practice competently does not threaten the safety of patients, co-workers or oneself (p. 8). 3. The article widened my understanding that if I am not mentally or physically fit; it’s impossible for me to care for another and meet their needs and can put patients in danger due to errors.

My experience this gives me challenges in patient treatment and care. Therefore, I emphasize that heavy workloads do not reduce my professional responsibility and teamwork helps me to develop personally and

John Stuart Mill points out the inherent value of individuality, since individuality is by definition the thriving of the human person through the higher pleasures. He argues that a safe society ought to attempt to promote individuality as it is the pre- requisite for creativity and diversity. Therefore Mill concludes that actions themselves don’t matter, rather the person behind the action and the action together are valuable. However on the limits to the authority of

The desire satisfaction theory (DST) describes that the good life is one where desires are satisfied. I agree that the desire satisfaction theory provides for a good life because I believe that the good life can only be determined from within, ultimately suggesting my strong agreement with Taylor’s view of the DST, and its ability to provide long-term satisfaction. While critics attempt to expose the ambiguity of DST, I believe their efforts actually strengthen the value of DST by showing how essential it is to create meaning for ourselves, rather than having it imposed upon us. I found Richard Taylor’s viewpoint on the DST to be the most important/beneficial compared to his critics.

They also give the advice to find happy people and copycat their actions. because they believe that the happy fulfilled people are the morally matured. Together at the

Stevens can unite into what we call a we. This we is an extension of our own well-being and is the mark of love. Bad things that happen to your loved one happen to you; however, this is true when good things happen as well. Someone who loves you and helps you with your problems does so not out of selfishness, but doing so is in part to maintain their own well-being. Thus, according to Norzick, a benefit from love is that it places a floor under your well-being.
