1. 3.01 Unfair Discrimination
Dr. Takem uses the information gained in sessions with her patient Sam to charge an upgraded fee. Prior to learning about Sam’s inheritance the fee schedule was $45/session. After learning the additional information about the sizeable inheritance, Dr. Takem changed the fee schedule to $125/session. Her reasoning behind this was “the fee needs to be high for him to perceive the therapy as valuable and worth his effort and time”.
2. 3.04 Avoiding Harm
Dr. Takem caused harm to Sam by violating his trust. Sam was discussing the personal issues he had with his parents, including receiving the inheritance in his therapy session. Dr. Takem then took this information and utilized it to charge extra fees.
