You can’t make decisions based on fear and the possibility of what might happen.

As professionals working in the field of psychology, it behooves us to have a way to work though dilemmas that present as we engage in being of service to others. The eight-step model shown above and described in the class text is one of several models used by psychologists to step through a process with the goal of arriving at a decision that abides by the ethical code, the law, the person(s) we serve, and our own integrity. The eight-step model is considered a supported model for resolving ethical dilemmas. It is supported because it adheres to the APA Code of Ethics and because psychology professionals throughout the world use it. It is, so to speak, a tested approach to engaging in ethical dilemmas.
There are a number of other models similar to the eight-step model, but they are all based on the same components. Some are shortened to seven or even five steps. As long as the main ingredients remain, one can assume it is a supported model.
An alternative model for resolving ethical dilemma would be one that attempts to engage in specific problem solving while also using some of the components we see in the eight-step model. An example of this might be the restorative justice model, which is a part of this module’s lesson plan. Below is a diagram of how the restorative justice model works:

As you can see, the restorative justice model deals primarily with a specific category of victim and offender psychology, responsibility, reparation, restoration, and reconciliation. The goal of healing is the core premise in this model.
Unsupported models regarding how one makes ethical decisions or behaviors associated with working through dilemmas are not highly researched or written about. The reason for this is that they are not supported and they seldom, if ever, work. Below are some diagrammatic representations that show a variety of different styles of thinking where ethics and decisions are concerned. The first demonstrates five scenarios that can get in the way of making good ethical decisions. The second speaks to parenting styles, and the third compares the ethics of Plato and Aristotle.
