For the safety from any undesirable consequences or ethical violations of the employees, following ethical considerations will be considered:
Informed Consent
Consent will be taken from the employees as it is necessary to ensure the risks, benefits, expected outcome of therapy and medication in therapeutic approach and training. Before the psychologists will conduct the assessment, therapy, counseling, training or consultation via electronic transmission or other forms of communication, they will obtain informed consent of the employees in a language that is fully understood by them. However, employee record can be revealed if mandated by law or governmental regulation. Since clients are paying for therapy and training in order to manage their professional and personal life, they can actively participate in directing the course of their treatment. Psychologists will appropriately document written or oral consent, permission, and assent.
Competent Psychologists
All the employees will be assigned competent and best suited psychologists to deal with their problems.
(a) Psychologists will provide services, training and counseling in areas only within the boundaries of their competence, based on their education, training, supervised experience and consultation.
(b) As professional knowledge demands an in-depth understanding of factors associated with age, gender identity, race, ethnicity, culture, national origin, religion, sexual orientation, disability, language or socioeconomic status, well-trained psychologists who understand diversity and have the necessary experience would be assigned to ensure competent services, otherwise appropriate referrals would be made.
(c) Marsith plans to provide services, training or counseling involving populations, areas, techniques, or technologies new to them and undertakes relevant education, training, supervised experience and consultation.
(d) When psychologists are asked to provide services to employees for whom appropriate mental health services are not available and for which psychologists have not obtained the required degree of competency, psychologists with closely related relevant prior training or experience may provide such services in order to ensure that services are not denied and they would make a reasonable effort to obtain the competence required by using relevant research, training, consultation or study.
(e) Both male and female psychologists will be available to cater the clients according to the client’s preference.
(f) You will be dealt according to your requirements through Marsith. The client may notify his/her psychologist if he has special needs or require special services.
Courtesy and Respect
Employees will be treated with courtesy and respect. Psychologists respect the dignity and worth of all employees, and the rights of individuals to privacy, confidentiality, and self-determination. Our psychologists are aware that special safeguards may be necessary to protect the rights and welfare of employees or organizations whose vulnerabilities impair autonomous decision making. They are hence well-aware and respect cultural, client and role differences including those based on age, gender, gender identity, race, ethnicity, culture, national origin, religion, sexual orientation, disability, language, and socioeconomic status, and consider these factors when working with members of such groups. Psychologists try to eliminate the effect of biases on their work based on those factors, and they do not knowingly participate in or condone activities of others based upon such prejudices.
Honest team
Be as honest as you can about your situation. Psychologists seek to promote accuracy, honesty, and truthfulness. The psychologists deal with what clients explain regarding their problems. If you hide something from your psychologist or counselor; this will not benefit you. However, it may lead you to an inaccurate treatment and counseling.
