The Case of Yuriko
Yuriko is a 30-year-old Japanese female who seeks out counseling with you of her own accord. She specifically requested a female therapist. She works as FT/sales associate at a flooring store and seems to have a flair for color and design. She is an only child and lives with her parents. Her presenting problem involves issues within her small family. Her parents are “90% retired” and Yuriko is a primary source of financial support for her family, and they currently live in an upscale apartment with a doorman and many amenities. Yuriko also attends college online and in-person at George Washington University and is studying marketing. Her parents encourage her to obtain her MBA in this area as well and they believe she could be a store manager. She has a GPA of 4.0.
Yuriko, unlike her parents, has been “Americanized”. She sees herself dating more, getting married and living in a home of her own. In addition, she wishes to change her major to either English or Journalism and obtain her MFA in Creative Writing. As an only child and a daughter, she is expected to live with her parents and help support them for their entire lives. They also expect that she will remain unmarried and continue to help them. This is not the life she wants for herself. To make things worse, to her parents and other older Japanese people, she is not a desirable match for a Japanese man because they say she is “too fat”. Yuriko is 5’1″ and weights 115 lbs. This is considered 20 lbs too fat for any man. Yet, American men find her witty, intelligent, attractive and skinny.
When you meet with Yuriko, she is personable, funny and yet despondent. Her parents have no idea of how she would like to live her life. She is torn between complying with family obligations and doing what she wants. She also says she “hates herself for being fat” and would like therapy to help her lose 20 lbs. She does not overeat. She also tells you that the name, Yuriko, in Japanese means “perfect”. As she says this she laughs and also has a few tears in her eyes. She wants treatment to get “unstuck”.
1. Provide a brief clinical and cultural case analysis.
2. Describe how you would work with Yuriko without alienating her.

The Case of Manuel
Manuel is a 16 year-old Latino male and a first-generation American. He is in High School and you are serving as the school counselor or a contractual mental health professional. His mother and father immigrated from El Salvador 20 years ago and both are currently US citizens. Manuel has been referred for counseling/psychotherapy for increasingly aggressive behavior towards other male students in the school. On one occasion, he threatened another student and in a second incident, he was injured in a fight among schoolboys, and he also injured another male student pretty seriously, however, this fight took place after-hours and off school grounds. No other student or his family ever reported these injuries to anyone. Yet word about the fight spread among the student population that Manuel “busted a dude’s jaw open”. Manuel has gained a reputation as skilled in mixed martial arts (MMA) and he belongs to an inexpensive neighborhood gym. There was also an incident where Manuel was out on a date with a female student, and she became afraid and called her parents from a 7-11 to come and pick her up. She refused to disclose to anyone exactly what happened but told her mom that “Manuel is a scary guy”.
You have had one session with Manuel, and he presented as polite but could not see why he would need counseling for anything. He spoke openly and admitted to hanging around a gang of boys, all with family roots in El Salvador. He said he is not a gang member but “more like an affiliate”. When you asked him about this, he explained that most males in the school hung with racial groups as a means of “avoiding problems”. He stated that, “all the Blacks hang together and us Hispanics….. we hang in different groups based on where our parents are from. We got to do it see….because it’s like…..ya know…..if someone tries to mess with me…..then they got the whole gang on them” He minimized this and stated, “it ain’t no big thing like everyone wants to make it out to be……we ain’t roaming the streets with knives like no MS-13. That’s just a bad stereotype of us.”
School teachers recommended a few family sessions; however, this has been difficult. So far, you have only spoken with Manuel’s mom on the phone. Both parents work opposite shifts in unskilled labor jobs. As one parent is leaving home the other is returning home. They clearly love Manuel, yet they also have 3 other younger children and the family of six lives in a rented two-bedroom apartment. Manuel`s 14-year-old sister does a lot of the cooking, laundry and gets the younger two kids ready for school. In addition, despite earning minimum wage, Manuel’s parents send money back to relatives in El Salvador, who are themselves trying to get to the US. Manuel’s parents were very upset to hear that he might be affiliated with a gang. His mother began to cry and told you that they left El Salvador to get away from living in a world of gang generated terror and extortion.
1. Analyze the following case and identify the elements of this situation unique to this Hispanic family. These are elements that must be considered in treatment, even if you never openly act upon them.
2. List 3 clinical interventions you would utilize. Two of these should involve things you would say or do directly with Daniel. The third intervention should consider using to help this client in a family therapy session.

Please provide a brief reply to the following discussion board:

If you were in the process of developing a plan for an internal human resources audit, what materials, articles, books, and resources would you include in your plan and why?

If I were in the process of developing a plan, I would include a copy of the employee handbook because you want to make sure that everyone involved in the process is aware and knowledgeable of what is required of each employee. This also gives or refreshes employees knowledge of what incentives are available for excelling in performance. (Noe) 2018. The policy and procedure manual so that policy review can be conducted. Code of Ethics for the company should be reviewed to ensure understanding of what is allowed and disallowed by the company or school. Files and records (financial, personnel) that are relevant to the audit. A PowerPoint presentation outlining the details of the audit. And the appropriate personnel, as not all employees or subordinates are privy to the information that will be discussed in the audit process. A book on how the audit process works because maybe not everyone involved has been part of an audit. And a journal article or two recently published on the findings of an audit that has taken place in a comparable setting.

What is the relationship between such audits and the academic or training operations of a business or school?

According to Diligent Insight, internal auditing is an evaluative process used to improve the operations of a school district. Internal audits for schools give the district an idea of what needs to be improved on, it analyzes ethics, district practices, checks compliance with all local, state, and federal mandates, finances, and technology. Internal auditors however have no authority in the decision-making process. They can only conduct the audit and make recommendations to the board of education.

Personal experiences to support thoughts

I was involved in a few audits during my time with the state. Some of them were external, the agency has to maintain accreditation with the American Correctional Association (ACA). We had to be audited bi-yearly but had to conduct internal mock audits on the off-year. The internal audits were more tedious in my opinion because everything had to be right. For you to pass the external audit, the offices being audited had to have a 95% pass rate. The internal audits took place by area- meaning you have one area, usually three to four counties under the supervision of one area manager, and an assistant area manager in each county office. Your office could pass the internal audit, another could fail. To get 100%, because that was what we strived for, each office had to pull together. If you didnt know the meaning of teamwork, you quickly learned when it was time for an audit. As a senior officer, I will admit there were times when my attitude came out during the process because the work doesnt stop. You had to continue to work your caseload, and everything that came along with it; intakes, office visits, home visits, transports, court dockets, revocation hearings, courtesy visits, etc., and audit the computer files of your co-workers for every person on their caseload, and submit the findings to them in order for them to input the missing data, submit a corrective action plan, they send it back to you for review, and then you submit a report to the Assistant Area Manager and signing off on it stating that you have reviewed the case file, it had been submitted a correction, it had been sent back to you for review again, and that it was now correct. It was a lot, and we worked a lot of extra hours that we were not compensated for because this state agency does not pay overtime. We had to flex off the hours that were accrued, but we only had a two-week time frame to do it. That was nearly impossible seeing as how we usually ended up working over every day just to try and stay on top of things. Audits can be very draining, mentally, and physically. All complaints aside, I do feel that they are necessary for any entity to be successful and maintain operation because they do give you a lot of insight as to what is going on, what needs to be fixed, and what practices need to be done away with. They do assist in getting things to flow properly. They do help the bottom line.

In this weeks Discussion, you will explore how ethics applies to issues in medicine. Bioethics is a distinct subject that takes medical and biological issues and analyzes them using ethical reasoning and theory. The topics discussed in bioethics are varied but these issues impact your lives directly.

Confidentiality is both common sense and professional convention, per the Hippocratic Oath, in the sense I will respect the privacy of my patients, for their problems are not disclosed to me that the world may know (Lasagna, 1964). It is an obligation not only of those who are called up to take the oath as a matter of course, but all healthcare professionals.

Are there instances in which private medical information should be revealed to others in order to protect individuals or the public from harm? Please explain your position using ethical reasoning and theories.

Lasagna, L. (1964). Hippocratic Oath Modern Version. WGGH Educational Foundation for PBS and NOVA Online. http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/body/hippocratic-oath-today.html

Many social scientists and theorists have observed that whiteness is typically not a relevant form of identity for most white Americans, whereas other racial groups closely identify with their race. Given what you now know about social stratification, social identity, and culture, why do you think whites in America typically do not consider their race relevant to how they understand themselves?
