2.What is the most common ethical concern or dilemma that you see or experience, professionally?
3.Please discuss an example of a particularly difficult or challenging ethical dilemma that you have faced as a therapist. How was it resolved?
4.Describe the process by which you resolved the ethical dilemma.
5.As a therapist, how were you trained to deal with ethical dilemmas, and do you feel your training was adequate?
6.How have you been involved in advocacy for policies, programs and services that are equitable and responsive to the unique needs of couples and families in your professional organization, state, and /or community?

Gender criticism over the play Trifles
For many of the authors we have read —especially Griffin, Rich, and
Rodriguez—going over familiar ground leads to certain discoveries about their own lives
and the lives of others. Now it’s your turn to make some of your own discoveries as you

criticism. Find out what these scholars or “experts” have to say about this text. Then, with
the help of two of these scholars and two authors from Ways of Reading, explore this
