Code of Ethics 1997
My
research interests are rather broad. Social
work ethics and professional behavior are key
concerns for me. The educational function of
the School of Social Work is to
teach appropriate interpersonal and professional behavior
that facilitates the development of our
clients. The
classroom experience must be translated by students into the
social work field placements where they are expected to act in accord with
the Code of Ethics. Part of my
interests has been directed toward court decisions and other legal
presidents that enable schools of social work to
evaluate students’ ethical behavior in
field classes and determine their suitability for
graduation and professional practice.
Another
area of interest has been domestic violence.
For a number of years, the
Community Service Clinic provided treatment for anger control
problems. The focus shifted
last summer when the Clinic began providing
clinical assessments for participants in
domestic violence incidences. Working with
Dr. Peter Lehmann on our faculty, we will evaluate the
effectiveness of batterer's intervention groups
and correlate treatment outcomes with the clinical data from the original
assessments.
Finally, I continue to be intrigued with the assessment decisions and judgments of professionals. I hope to continue studying the heuristics employed by professionals to process information about clients.
