To explore how to acculturate to the profession of psychology and its ethical traditions, you need to know
where you’ re coming from. To help accomplish this goal, the short paper (2-3 pages, double-spaced) will be
an “ethics autobiography” in which you will explore the aspects of your background that might make it easier
or harder to acculturate into the mental health professions.
Some of the specific questions that you can address:
What exposure have you bad to the field?
What is your idea of right and wrong professional behavior?
Where does your conception of right and wrong professional behavior come from?
What aspects of the field are most compatible with who you are as a person, and which aspects are least compatible ? What aspects of this profession strike you as “not intuitive?”
You should make use of the readings. especially about acculturation, but much of the paper will be exploring what you bring to the profession. Having said this, it’s 1mportant that you know that you do NOT need to self-disclose personal information that you don’t want to.
