Ethical Issues In Health And Social Care

Using the Case Study of Mr. X, Identify and Explain the Client’s Issues and Devise a Course of Treatment for him, taking into Account any Ethical Issues

In this essay I will be explaining what self-esteem is and the issues Mr X has stated. I shall then cover any ethical considerations that need to be accounted for and devise an appropriate course of treatment for this particular individual.
Self-esteem is how we value ourselves; it is how we perceive our value to the world and how valuable we think we are to others. It affects our trust in others, our relationships, and our work – nearly every part of our lives. Positive self-esteem gives us the strength and flexibility to take charge of our lives and grow from our mistakes without the fear
He has not progressed in his work although he is fully capable as has been evident whilst covering for the manager when it has been required. Regardless of this he is afraid of applying for the managerial position.

It is clear to see the profound impact Mr X's childhood has had in his life in the present moment and that all his issues are a by-product of it. Although I recognise that I am not qualified enough nor experienced enough to conduct regression work, I would maybe recommend regression for Mr.X which would enable him go back to the underlying problems in his childhood to address and trace why he feels the way he does now. Regression is discovering and reliving earlier experiences that have caused present complaints and conditions. Those forgotten experiences contain emotional wounds that never healed or triggered persistent half-conscious convictions. Because Mr.X has unhealed wounds he is carrying around issues that need to be healed. But as I know that I am currently not qualified to do regression work (as previously stated) I would be sure to forward Mr.X
