Abstract

Ethical dilemmas in field work often challenge field work supervisors to engage students in a process of learning and reflection. This narrative presents the flip side of that supervision experience as a field work instructor re-tells the story of her own ethical dilemma and decision-making, and explores the consequences of that decision on her field placement, her student’s learning, and her professional relationships.
