Tara has been working as a therapist for the past two years in a local community mental
health center that primarily treats middle-aged adults who suffer from depression. Tara
was offered this position after successfully completing both her practicum and her
internship at the center. While Tara is regarded as an excellent counselor by her clients
and colleagues, she realizes that her skills are limited by the lack of variety in her training
and experience. One afternoon Tara’s supervisor approached her and asked her if she
would be interested in facilitating a group therapy session once a week at one of the
center’s other branches. The group is for newly diagnosed schizophrenic clients, and is
meant to help them cope specifically with their auditory or visual hallucinations. Tara
was excited about the possibility of doing something new, and accepted the invitation to
facilitate the group. She remembered back to her psychopathology class in graduate
school, and felt comfortable running the group based on the knowledge of schizophrenia
that she acquired from the class.
Please answer the following based on the case above:
•
•
According to the ethics codes discussed in class, how are the minimum
standards of competence measured (i.e. years of classroom instruction,
years of experience, etc.)?
If Tara does not have the minimum standard of competence to practice
with client’s diagnosed with Schizophrenia, what measures should she
take to become more competent?
