Mental health professionals must move forward and beyond the traditional approach of focusing solely on the intrapsychic, accept and recognize the impact of sociopolitical factors on our clients and their families, and determine how our advocacy can effectively address those issues. part of their ethical and moral obligation is to: decide how they will work within the system and how they can get the most out of it for themselves. advocate with the aim of creating a just society in which all people have equal opportunities and resources to strive toward their personal goals. not support the philosophy and policies of agencies they may work at. change the agency's norms, values, and expectations to match their own.
