• • Ethics & Moral Dilemma – Ethics in psychology involves understanding professional codes of conduct and applying them with integrity. Moral dilemmas arise when values conflict, requiring nuanced decision-making. Practitioners must balance client welfare, confidentiality, and legal obligations.
  • Case History + MSE – Case history provides a comprehensive view of a client’s psychological, medical, and social background. The Mental Status Examination (MSE) offers a structured assessment of a client’s current mental functioning. Together, they form the basis for diagnosis and treatment planning.
  • Intersectionality + Gender, Sex, Sexuality – This framework examines how various identities (e.g., gender, race, sexuality) intersect to shape experiences. It challenges binary views and highlights systemic inequalities. A critical lens is applied to understand marginalization in therapeutic contexts.
  • Trauma-Informed Lens – A trauma-informed approach prioritizes safety, choice, and empowerment in therapeutic settings. It acknowledges the widespread impact of trauma and avoids re-traumatization. This lens fosters healing by recognizing resilience and supporting self-regulation.
  • NSSI & Self-Harm – Non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) is a coping mechanism for emotional distress, distinct from suicidal intent. It often signifies underlying trauma, emotional dysregulation, or unmet needs. Intervention focuses on safety, skill-building, and compassionate understanding.
