“…In an article examining the ethical dilemmas regarding gradate psychology students' personal lives on the Internet, Lehavot (2009) Situations in which students make derogatory comments online about clients, advisors, or programs could be constituted as unethical, or at the very least, unprofessional.

“…In another article, Lehavot (2009) presented a case study of a client who ran an online search for her psychotherapist to check her educational background and credentials. The client's behavior presented a foundation for the client and therapist to explore together how the client attempted to form and maintain trusting relationships, as well as past difficulties she may have experienced.…”

“…Lehavot (2009) gives the example that the client may have a pattern of pushing boundaries within relationships or could be trying to feel more connected to the therapist. A clinician can examine the function of the client's behavior to attain "friendship" or information about the clinician via the Internet.…”

“…This information could be used later to inform treatment. Lehavot (2009) makes a point to note, however, that this does not mean a clinician should accept the request, suggesting that psychologists should only engage in social networking with clients if it is not counter to the therapist's goals and client's wellbeing.…”

This study examines the current beliefs and behaviors of licensed psychologists, physicians, and social workers regarding ethical use of the social networking website, Facebook©. The study utilized a survey which was adapted from ethics questionnaires used in previous research to explore professionals' average numbers of Facebook friends, social groups, and photo albums as well as attitudes toward possible regulation of online social networking by professional organizations. Statistically significant differences were found among groups regarding the degree to which they wanted guidance on ethically managing technology like social networking websites, with psychologists and social workers desiring more guidance than physicians. Overall, this study shows that the majority of psychologists, physicians, and social workers now frequently use Facebook, often providing personal information on their profiles that may include that which is not generally disclosed in a client-therapist or doctor-patient relationship.

“…If so, should there be criteria regarding what is appropriate material to post on one's personal sites? Although the importance of this issue is just starting to be recognized at a professional level (Behnke 2007;Behnke 2008;Chamberlin 2007;Donner 2009;Zur and Donner 2009;Lehavot 2009;Martin 2010), these and similar questions have yet to be addressed empirically.…”

The vast majority of university students have profiles on social networking sites (e.g., Myspace, Facebook) (Salaway et al. 2008). However, it is yet to be determined what role this rapidly evolving method of communication will play in an academic setting. Data for the current study was collected from 459 university students and 159 university faculty members. Participants' opinions regarding faculty/student interaction on social networking sties (SNSs) were analyzed. Over one-third of the students and a quarter of the faculty participants reported that it is inappropriate for faculty members to have accounts on SNSs. Significant disagreement existed between the faculty and students, as well as among the faculty and among the students regarding what constitutes appropriate professional professor/student interaction on SNSs.
