Joe is a social work intern at an afterschool program for middle school children.

2.Select any two of the eight questions on pages 6061 in Chapter Three and discuss how each issue
applies to this situation (from Homework Exercise 3.3):
“Alfonso has just been given information about a new client who is scheduled to see him later today.
The client is a 17year old boy whose parents have specifically requested that he be assigned to
Alfonso. They said, “Alfonso is the only person we want to work with our son.” Alfonso recognizes
the client’s name as a boy who is in his 15year old son’s scout troop. As the troop draws from the
local high school population, Alfonso knows the family lives near him and the boy attends his son’s
school in addition to being in the same scout troop.”
(NO need to repeat this prompt in your response)
Here are the questions:
1.) How would you apply this ethical issue to guide your behavior in this situation? Discuss your
decision making process in detail, including pros and cons of your chosen behavior and any conflicts
with personal values that you may need to address in order to apply this ethical principle in this
situation
2.) Discuss any ambiguities involved in applying this ethic to this situation.
So, this assignment will have a 1. and 2. (one for each questionplease write out the question you
are addressing!) with two subheadings per response. Remember, just single spacing. Something like
this:
1.) How necessary is this multiple relationship?
1. Blah blah scholarly stuff as evidenced by the things I’ve read (Chang, Decker, & Scott p. 1).
2. Blah blah ambiguous because of things.
2.) What is the potential harm to the client from this dual relationship?
1. Blah blah more scholarly stuff as evidenced by the things I’ve read (Chang, Decker, & Scott p. 1).
2. Blah blah ambiguous because of reasons.
Hope this makes sense. If you have any more questions or need clarification about the assignment,
please contact me anytime!
