Description
paper that demonstrates thoughtful consideration of the ideas and concepts by providing new thoughts and insights relating directly to the topic of telepsychology and where it may violate ethical and legal standards. I need to cite 3 peer-reviewed academic journals. Does Telepsychology have the potential for violating ethical and legal standards? If so, how? I need to examine the ethical concerns that may exist in providing telepsychology (provision of psychological services by text, e-mail, telephone, and other electronic means) with specific focus on addressing the needs of special populations. Special populations include LGBT, Immigrants with ESL needs, Children, & Older adults. I need to explain general issues that arise from dealing with diverse, multicultural individuals. As part of the explanation, analyze reasons why these individuals might seek assistance through telepsychology. I need to explain the ethical guidelines for dealing with mental health delivery services to special populations. As part of the explanation, indicate any particular ethical challenges that could occur in a telepsychology session. Finally, I need to provide three recommendations for mental health professionals who may wish to incorporate telepsychology methods in working with diverse clientele.
