Similar to other professions,
psychologists face ethical dilemmas that may adversely impact their code of
conduct, which are avoidable by implementing ethical standards. In this
scenario, the patient is a 22-year-old female bank teller who is experiencing
post-traumatic issues after being a victim of a robbery. However, this case

Therefore, analyzing the applicable code of ethics, principles, and ethical
decision-making model will provide insights on how to deal with this issue.
