Document Summary
Ethics: refers to certain standards of behaviour that a culture developed to promote the survival of that culture. Ethics has evolved as part of our culture in the same way parts of our body have evolved, contributed to our survival. Formulate and enforce a code of ethics that strengthens culture through reinforcement and punishment leads to survival. Ethical guidelines are important sources of behavioural control when immediate reinforcers influence an individual to behave in a way that leads to aversive stimuli for others: ex. Thief is immediately reinforced by possession of stolen goods, loss of goods is aversive to the victim: guidelines formulated into rules that specify legal contingencies ( stealing fine or jail) The goals of counselling, psychological treatment, and psychiatry involve changing people"s behaviour so that they function more effectively than they did prior to receiving professional help. Those in helping profession see themselves as helping clients achieve control over their own behaviour.
