  1. Well, I'm not sure of the specific wording, but informed consent also does include limits of confidentiality...ie. They also state that if something you disclose could harm yourself or others it will be broken. Nevertheless, they didn't run the participant and didn't disclose.
  2. Thus far in my short "career" in psychology, I have been fortunate to not face any professional dilemmas. In my ethics course, we need to think of an ethical dilemma that can be argued from both sides. One that neither answer is the clear-cut the right choice based on the ethics code, any applicable codes in that area, and local laws, etc. Has anyone faced any such dilemma in their professional life (whether working as a research assistant, psych student, etc.?) For example, one such dilemma a friend is using is: as an RA on a concussion study for big ten football teams, they were exposing participants to bright lights. Thus, they asked participants if they had any history of seizures. One participant did indicate this, and obviously, not wanting to induce a seizure, she did not allow him to continue in the study. However, her dilemma came when she went to decide if she should report this to the coaching staff (as they were unaware and he never received medical follow-up after the seizure). He begged her not to saying he would lose his football scholarship, not be able to continue playing/school, etc. On the other hand, was his safety at risk if he continued to play and had a seizure on the field? Any suggestions/examples you have would be appreciated. They do not have to be in the field of psychology (they can be a professional dilemma in any field in which you work with people), but psychology would be preferable.
  3. What state would you want to work in? Only some states allow a limited license, and even with that you'd have to be supervised by a LP. (Michigan has a bill in legislation about LLPs being able to call them selves "psychotherapists" and work unsupervised) Others, allow those with a masters in counseling to get licensed as a licensed professional counselor, and they are able to work unsupervised, but aren't able to perform assessments.
  4. Thank you everyone for you input. I have since discovered that every state, except OH, allows some sort of licensure at the master's level in psychology, whether you're just allowed to do assessment or you may do therapy under supervision...each state has something of the sort....except OH...the state I am from and plan to move back to after I finish my master's. They only, only, only, no exceptions, allow masters in psych to work as a psych assistant or various other jobs (that you're also eligible to do with just a B.A./B.S). You can get licensed as an LPC of course, but that's not for me/not what my M.S. is. boo hoo.
  5. I'm referring to a limited license psychologist, in which you can be licensed (in Michigan) after receiving M.A./M.S. in clinical psychology and work under a doctoral-level psychologist. I know there's also degrees for mental health counseling, marriage and family, and the like, but I need more info on the limited license please.
  6. I know some states allow limited licensure after obtaining a Masters degree, taking the exam, etc. Michigan is among these, and I know there are a few others. Does anyone know of any or know of a comprehensive listing of states?
