Anna Stubblefield: A Case Study
After reading the article about Anna Stubblefield, I am extremely disturbed by the treatment that an innocent individual received. Anna was accused of sexually abusing an individual she was treating who is severely physically and mentally disabled. D.J. was the name of the disabled adult being treated by Anna. The patient’s cognitive abilities have been assessed and it was concluded that his intellectual abilities is that on the level of a child. He is also physiologically incapable of muttering a single word making him unable to communicate (Engber, 2015).
Even if D.J. had been cognitively able to consent, he is unable to truly vocalize that he is a willing participant. Even if Anna had not been a clinician this would have been a disgusting

    Ethical Approaches To Ellingson's Autoethnography

    On the other hand, Ellingson’s autoethnography shows that she received consent before writing about the patients she met, since this autoethnography was written in conjunction with scholarly research about medical communications. It is incredibly likely Ellingson took great care to get consent, because this is a requirement of social scientific research. The patients granting their consent is demonstrated in a narrative part of the autoethnography, “Sandra [a clinic nurse] shakes Mr. Davis’s hand and then his wife’s. ‘This is Laura, she is a Ph.D. student in the communication school, and she’s going to listen to how we communicate, if that’s all right’” (Ellingson, 1998, p.497) to which Mr. Davis responds “Sure, okay,” (Ellingson, 1998, p.497).…

    When Worlds Collide Book Report

    Shari Davies was once a carefree, optimistic young woman. This all changed one night twenty years ago, giving way to an unexpected course of injury, pain, fear, and anger. On November 5, 1986, Shari was abducted, raped, and almost killed (Davies, 1997, pp. 3-4). Rape is a very horrible crime that affects its victims both physically and psychologically, and these affects can last for years (Cooper, 2004). Shari even admits in the book that she still experiences grief, pain and confusion and shares that elements of these emotions will never leave her and her family (Davies, 1997, p 3). How family, friends, and authorities react to a victim has a major impact on how she will deal with the pain and heal. Rape victims who feel ignored or treated negatively may encounter what is known as secondary victimization. When police and other legal and medical providers put the needs of their agencies in front of the needs and psychological boundaries of the victim, victims often feel violated. The disregard of victims' needs by providers can so closely mimic victims' experiences at the hands of their assailants that secondary victimization is sometimes referred to as "the second rape" or the "second assault" (Schultz, 1999). Two sources of frustration and pain to Shari and her family were the police and the media. In this paper I will share how I interpreted Shari to be treated by these entities during her recovery process and the possible implications of such treatment. I will also delve into the issue of the scarcity of resources that Shari and her family encountered and how this has changed both in Australia and the United States.…

    Analysis of Disability by Nancy Mairs

    Author of disability Nancy Mairs who’s a feminist and a cripple, has accomplished a lot in writing and teaching. Her remarkable personality shows in many of her essays especially in Disability which was first published in 1987 in the New York Times. In this essay, Nancy Mairs shows how disabled people are constantly excluded, especially from the media. By giving out facts and including her personal experiences, Mairs aims for making some changes regarding the relationship between the media and people with disabilities. Mairs thesis is shown implicitly in the first and last paragraphs. Her main goal is to show everyone that people with disabilities are just like everybody else and they should be included and accepted in all daily activities.

    Inclusive Model Of Ethical Decision Making

    Universal legalisation includes duty of care under the Wrongs and Other Acts (Law of Negligence) Act (2003) and the Charter of Human Rights and Responsibilities Act (2006). Contextually based legislation for Daniel is the Mental Health Act (2014) and the Guardianship and Administration Act (1986), with the Disability Act (2006) supplementing the Guardianship and Administration Act (1986). The Charter of Human Rights and Responsibilities Act (2006), as previously discussed protects Daniel in a number of ways but especially ‘recognition of equality before the law’ (s.8), ‘protection from …inhumane and degrading treatment’ (s.10) and ‘humane treatment when deprived of liberty’ (s.22) (Fitzroy Legal Service, 2016). Daniel is through for protected against harm, stigma and discrimination practically from practitioners. The Mental Health Act (2014) regulates many aspects of mental health treatment including voluntary and involuntary treatment, assessment requirements, allowable treatments, medications and complaints. For Daniel this act will be working with him for most if not all of his life and he will require a lot of support from it, as it does with outlining his rights and the procedures to uphold his rights. The act also has within it disempowering aspects to it such as assessments which could reduce Daniels rights and choices (Chenoweth & McAuliffe, 2015; Fitzroy Legal Service, 2016; Brophy & Mcdermott, 2013; Brophy, Campbell & Healy, 2003). The Guardianship and Administration Act (1986), with the Disability Act (2006) supplementing is there if the capacity of Daniel goes to VCAT, and thus Daniel will need to be proven incompetent and with mental health related disability, as the Guardianship and Administration Act (1986), stipulates the powers and legality of guardians and the process in which the guardianship can be made and the disability act defines disability and…

    Nasw Code Of Ethics For Social Workers Essay

    1.12). The National Association of Social Workers Code of Ethics states that “Social workers should not use derogatory language in their written or verbal communications to or about clients. Social workers should use accurate and respectful language in all communications to and about clients” (NASW, 2008, p. 8, para. 1.12).

    I wish to apply to your Law LLB course due to having a keen interest in said subject over the past few years. One of my favourite cases to marvel over is the Arlena Lindley case which is about a woman who endured domestic violence and faced 45 years in prison for her partner murdering her child due to American ‘Failure-to-Protect’ laws which focus on child negligence and child abuse. I have the attributes necessary for your Law LLB course, such as logical reasoning and persuasiveness, placing my views forward yet not dictating whether they are right or wrong. I believe that I have a very open mind when concerning injustice and others opinions taking in to consideration the other side of the argument, but always sticking to what I believe is…

    Genie interview

    In late of 1970, Genie a young thirteen-year-old girl was discovered to be a victim of extraordinarily severe abuse by her parents. This child was neglected since she was two years old, and socially isolated for nearly eleven years before her discovery by a social worker. The Social worker happened to notice a small skinny girl at the presents of a nearly blind mother, when the two came into the Social Welfare office. Genie’s looks at the office were the to be ages of six or seven to the social worker, when Genie’s real age was already at thirteen. Her hands were held up as though they were resting on an invisible rail and a stooped unnatural posture to Genie’s phasic. The abuser happened to be her father and mother who kept it quite for over a decade. Genie spent her eleven years of childhood at home in solitary confinement. She would spend each day chained naked to a potty chair for toddlers. When night came Genie slept with her arms restrained, inside a sleeping bag in a “cage like crib” made from wood and wire. If Genie would happen to make any noise, her father would beat her for it. The daily food consumption for Genie was baby food, cereals and soft-boiled eggs, all of which were fed to her. Parental abuse was all orchestrated by her father, who locked Genie up to protect her from what he considered, “the dangers of the outside world”.…
