, When discussing principles, especially in dealing with professional ethics, a
principle is something that every person should strive to live by—the intent is to push
a psychologist to the highest ethical standards. (APA, 2017)
The first principle, Beneficence and Nonmaleficence, ensures no harm to their
patient. When dealing with the case study, the professor influences the students. They
aim to care for the students professionally and recognize anything that puts doubt in
their trust in the professor.
Fidelity and Responsibility, or principle B, establishes a professional-client
relationship. A Professor is required to uphold the highest standards regarding their
position. They are considered subject matter experts in their chosen fields, and they
can pass the knowledge to their students. They are held accountable for their actions
and can recognize when something is out of character. This professor did not realize
when their relationship went from professional to personal.
Integrity or principle C encourages professionals to always be honest when
speaking; they will never use their position for personal gain. In reference to the case
study, the professor violated the integrity of not only the school but his marriage as
well. Then, the female in question broke the integrity of the student-teacher
relationship. We do not know who initiated the relationship.
Justice or Principle D suggests that a professional must always be fair and impartial.
They must be able to give the person a straight answer.
