Case 2. Cultural Values and Competent Mental Health Services to Minors
Irina, a 13-year-old girl of Arabic cultural heritage living in Boston, Massachusetts, was brought by her parents to a hospital emergency room after an assault by a stranger. Based on her injuries, the hospital staff suspected that the attacker had also sexually assaulted the girl, but she and her parents refused medical evaluations for rape. The family received a referral to see Janet Matthews, a clinical psychologist specializing in adolescent trauma. During their initial meeting with Dr. Matthews, the parents asked the psychologist not to discuss any sexual aspects of the assault with their daughter but to treat the psychological trauma from the assault in general.They told the psychologist that admitting a rape had taken place would cast a stigma on their daughter and make her ineligible to be married to men in their closely knit ethnic community. When asked in private, the girl also requested that sexual issues not be discussed for the same reason.
Discussion Questions
1. Why is this an ethical dilemma? Which APA Ethical Principles help frame the nature of the dilemma?
2. Who are the stakeholders and how will they be affected by how Dr. Matthews resolves this dilemma?
3. How might Irina’s age and parents’ involvement in the referral affect how Dr. Matthews can resolve this dilemma? How might state law on treatment of minors and HIPAA rules on access of guardians to a minor’s health carerecords influence Dr. Matthew’s decision? (See sections on “A Word About HIPAA” in the Preface of this book, on parental rights under Standards 3.10b,Informed Consent, in Chapter 6, and the Hot Topic at the end of Chapter 7 “Confidentiality and Involvement of Parents in Mental Health Services for Children and Adolescents.”)
4. What attitudes, knowledge, and skills are required to develop a culturally competent treatment plan for Irina (see the Hot Topic for Chapter 5 “Multicultural Ethical Competence”)?
5. Is Irina likely to benefit from the treatment if the possibility of sexual aspects to the trauma is not explored?
6. How are APA Ethical Standards 2.01a, b, and c; 2.04; 3.04; 3.06; 4.01; 4.02; and 10.10a relevant to this case? Which other standards might apply?
7. What are Dr. Matthews’s ethical alternatives for resolving this dilemma?Which alternative best reflects the Ethics Code aspirational principles and enforceable standards, legal standards, and Dr. Matthews’s obligations to stakeholders? Can you identify the ethical theory (presented in Chapter 3)guiding your decision?
8. What steps should Dr. Matthews take to ethically implement her decision and monitor its effect?

Preparation
Begin your preparation work for this assessment by selecting a business-related topic. This can be a business topic you would like to research to gain new insight that will be helpful to you in your current work environment, or it might simply be a business topic you are interested in. Some examples of business topics include:
Workplace diversity.
Management techniques.
Globalization.
Marketing trends.
Change management.
As you choose your topic, think about how knowing more about that topic will improve your career or advance your organization’s mission. Selecting an appropriate topic will enable you to develop a sound argument that is supported by expert knowledge.
Once you have your topic, think about a problem or challenge associated with that topic. For example, if your topic is workplace diversity, the associated problem might be the challenge faced by organizations in creating a productive, healthy, and supportive work environment.
Next, research your topic and problem. Locate 3–7 reputable resources on the topic. The resources you choose will help you to define the focus of your research and writing. For example, if your topic is workplace diversity and your problem is how organizations can create a productive and supportive work environment, your research may lead you to focus on how company policies can influence the work environment. Your research should also help you develop possible solutions to the problem.
Now, suppose the topic and problem you have selected are also primary concerns for your organization’s leadership. You have been asked to research the topic and problem and prepare a presentation for the executive board that includes your evaluation of the problem and your recommendation for a solution.
Requirements
Develop a PowerPoint presentation on the business topic and problem you selected. Use the notes feature of each slide to expand your bullet points and reference your resources. PowerPoint presentations generally shouldn’t have sentences such as a white paper or plan would, but instead should have bullet points that are organized and clearly convey the intent of the presentation. You should still follow APA rules for attributing sources that support your analysis and conclusions.
Your presentation should include one or more slides covering each of the following areas, and you could use slide titles more explicitly related to your chosen topic than are shown below. A template with this structure is provided in Resources for you to use to create your presentation if desired.

Preparation
Use the Capella library and the Internet to research the characteristics of effective teams, as well as strategies for building and leading teams. Use at 3–7 reputable resources to support your writing in this assessment.
For this assessment, consider you are a consultant hired by an established medium-sized manufacturing corporation with 250 employees. It directly markets one unique product. The corporation is run by a new CEO and 11 other executives who have been with the organization for varying lengths of time. The new CEO has an aggressive growth objective for the corporation of 100 percent over the next five years. The current business model will not support this objective and needs to be updated.
Your task is to create a team that will work together over a 9-month time frame to develop a proposal for a new business model and growth strategies. Your responsibilities include convening the team, assigning roles and responsibilities, structuring the team, monitoring activities and production, and documenting outcomes. The team members must come from at least three different functional areas because the new CEO wants input from a variety of stakeholders. The challenge is that under the old business model, none of the personnel working in the functional areas communicated or collaborated. In addition, the former CEO never asked for new ideas and seemed oblivious to issues the corporation was facing.
The following are key ideas for you to keep in mind as you write your plan, but this isn’t an outline for the plan. An outline and what you should include in your plan is defined in the Requirements section further below:
The team will work together for a sustained period of time.
The visible outcome of the teamwork should focus on the development of a new business model and growth strategies; however, the success of the team as an outcome is up to you and the team members.
There should be a representative from each of the three functional areas to produce the model.
A variety of perspectives is important.
Communication and collaboration are new priorities for teamwork; these processes have not been considered as valuable in the past.
Issues impacting the business model have not previously been identified by the business’ leadership.
Innovation previously has not been prioritized as a factor in the business model.
Develop a plan for building your team that you could present to the CEO. To facilitate evaluation of this assessment, format it according to APA guidelines.
Requirements
The purpose of this assessment is to create an overview of what should be considered when developing teams. It is not intended to be an in-depth analysis.
