“…However, there is evidence in the rehabilitation counseling literature that professional maintenance training programs have been successful in incorporating the kinds of challenges actually confronted by practicing rehabilitation counselors that would be necessary to make the training experience more meaningful (Wilson et al, 1991). Cottone (2001) noted that only recently ethical decisionmaking models that account for social factors had begun to appear in the literature. Cottone, Tarvydas, and Claus (2007) reviewed ethical decision-making models and noted that the majority did not account for contextual factors in the model.…”

It is generally accepted that the environment in which a counselor works influences his or her ethical behavior, but there is little empirical examination of this idea within the rehabilitation counseling professional literature. A survey was conducted with a national sample of practicing certified rehabilitation counselors that elicited qualitative data consisting of situations where workplace culture influenced ethical behavior and decision making. Forty percent of the 1,919 respondents provided examples. Qualitative analysis of the data yielded five themes: bureaucracy and resources, workforce, honesty, client welfare, and power differential. Recommendations for policy and future directions for research are discussed.

“…For a review of ethical decision making models in the counseling and development context, one should read Cottone and Claus (2000). More recently, in this area Cottone (2001) has introduced the Social Constructivism model for ethical decision making while Garcia et al (2003) have proposed the Transcultural Integrative model.…”

The Role of Mere Exposure Effect on Ethical Tolerance: a Two-Study Approach

et al. 2005

This paper reports on the results from two studies that were conducted eight years apart with different respondents. The studies examined the role of the Mere Exposure Effect on ethical tolerance or acceptability of particular business decisions. The results from Study 1 show there is a significant difference in ethical judgment for 12 out of 16 vignettes between those who have been exposed to such situations compared to those who have not been exposed to them. In those 12 situations, those who have been exposed to such situations adopted a more tolerant stance toward the ethically questionable behavior. The results from Study 2 show there is a significant difference in ethical judgment for 9 out of 16 vignettes between those who have been exposed to such situations compared to those who have not been exposed to them. Again, in those nine situations, those who have been exposed to such situations adopted a more tolerant stance toward the ethically questionable behavior. Interestingly, the 9 situations in Study 2 were 9 of the 12 situations found to be significant in Study 1, and in the same direction, suggesting that we have found consistency in our findings and support for the Mere Exposure Effect. Implications are provided for both higher education and practitioners.

“…For this population, family, gender role and the eating disordered cultures are particularly relevant. This model also incorporates aspects from both Cottone's (2001) social constructivist and Davis' (1997) collaborative models. We subscribe to this particular model because it incorporates Cottone's theory-driven social constructivist model which purports that ethical decision-making results from interpersonal exchanges and agreement upon what is fact.…”

“…We subscribe to this particular model because it incorporates Cottone's theory-driven social constructivist model which purports that ethical decision-making results from interpersonal exchanges and agreement upon what is fact. Cottone's (2001) model rightly places the decision-making process within an interpersonal, social context involving the processes of negotiating (i.e. the ensuing discussion when a disagreement on an issue exists among individuals), consensualizing (i.e.…”

Ethical dilemmas frequently arise in the treatment of clients with eating disorders, and clinicians regularly encounter an array of ethical challenges related to whether or not overt and covert coercive tactics should be implemented. In this paper, the authors provide an overview of perplexing ethical questions relevant to medical, nutritional and psychological treatment of clients with eating disorders including imposed treatment, enforced feeding, the duty to protect minors and adults, the determination of competence and capacity among medically comprised clients, and the effectiveness of coercive treatment for clients with eating disorders. The processes of ethical decision-making in terms of ethical principles, professional codes of conduct, the existing empirical literature and the use of a decision-making framework are explored. Taking a collaborative and client-sensitive approach, the authors outline and apply an integrative ethical decision-making model to facilitate clinicians' decision-making process.
