    Ethical Decision-Making Model for Art Therapists Working in Diverse Communities
    (2020) Guzman, Maria V.; Leigh, Heather
    An integrative literature review was used to gather information on existing ethical decision-making models in order to formulate key themes for a recently developed model. Concepts including ecology theory, and inclusion of emotion arousal with art-making were explored in the literature review. A consideration of the historical context of communities with a foundation of current ethical codes, principles and models helped inform the completion of the model, Community Ethical Decision-Making: Knowing the Past, Present, and Future. It is important to note when looking at this model that ethical principles and decision-making steps are tailored for community work. This unique perspective views the community as the client and a core belief reflects that strengthening the community strengthens the individual and vice versa.
