REVIEW OF UNIT 7 PROJECT Focus on Ethics, Types of Assessments, and Qualifications of Tester Directions: As the therapist, you know that helping Shana and her family is going to take more than making the phone calls she requests. Begin your paper with a discussion of the ethical issues that are presented in this case: How do these ethical issues influence how you move forward to help Shana and her family? With these ethical considerations in mind, which assessments/tests (remember to think back to past learning in this course) would you want to have done, for whom and for what purpose? Who should do these assessments/tests and why? Would you, or would you not, conduct the assessments/tests yourself?
