(2016): Developing professional values. Perceptions of francophone occupational therapists in Quebec, Canada. In: Scandinavian journal of occupational therapy 23 (4), S. 286-296. DOI: 10.3109/11038128.2015.1130168
DOI: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26824179 Abstract: Objective Recent literature shows growing interest in the values displayed by occupational therapists. Yet, none of these writings has so far examined the factors that contribute to the development of occupational therapists' professional values. These factors are important, since values play a pivotal role in forging professional identity, which in the case of some occupational therapists remains somewhat ambiguous. This article proposes possible answers to the following question: What do Quebec Francophone occupational therapists perceive as the building blocks of their professional values? Methods Using a phenomenological qualitative method, the subjective experience of occupational therapists in Quebec, Canada was examined. Twenty-six occupational therapists took part in the study. Results As intended, their professional experience was varied. According to the participants, four factors contributed significantly to their professional values: professional experience, university training, personal experience, and professional development. However, fewer than 50% of the participants cited six other factors (workplace, family upbringing, personal development, personality and abilities, professional normative framework, and sociocultural background). Conclusions Most of these results are consistent with those documented in existing works. They point to the relevance of discussing professional values during university training and continuing professional development, as well as encouraging occupational therapists to become exemplars for their colleagues and interns. This study constitutes an initial step in understanding how occupational therapists' axiological identity is formed.

(2013): Review of Professional civility. Communicative virtue at work. In: Journal of Business Ethics 115 (3), S. 645-649
Abstract: Reviews the book, Professional Civility: Communicative Virtue at Work by J. M. H. Fritz (2013). In this book author argues for professional civility in the workplace at a time in human history when professional standards and public decorum often evade ethical responsibilities in everyday work environments. Fritz provides a case for a practical communicative virtue that opens to interdisciplinary, philosophical grounding, practical applications, and fitting responses to contemporary ethical issues in the workplace. This review explores Fritz’s case for professional civility first by illuminating what she identifies as the need for a return to communicative virtue at work, second by summarizing each chapter through a common lens by identifying chapter arguments and main metaphors, and thirdly, this review identifies the significance of this book to various fields of knowledge, making an argument that this book is applicable not only in the communication domain but also in business and professional studies, leadership studies, and philosophy and ethics. This is is a remarkable work that provides a significant opening for applied philosophical and ethical literature as well as offering practical understanding and guidance for communicative, business, and leadership practices.

DOI: https://doi.org/10.1080/03057240.2012.661551 Abstract: Reviews the book, Moral Professionalism in Interaction: Educators’ Relational Moral Voices in Urban Schools by Eija Hanhimäki (2011). The main aim of the study presented in this book is to explore principals’ relational moral voices, their moral professionalism, and moral practices in four urban schools in Finland. Another main aim is to examine teachers’ voices in these schools as they identify critical incidents in their work that produce ethical reflection and moral emotions. After a brief introduction the book begins with a literature review on moral professionalism in education. It includes subchapters on moral and professional dimensions in education, professional ethics and the practice of education in schools, leadership and principals in urban schools, and educators’ moral professionalism as reflected in narratives. The important role of educators as moral professionals is made explicit. This book makes an important contribution as it draws attention to the impo rtance of moral professionalism in interactions at school. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)

(1997): Maintaining professionalism in the face of emotional abuse from clients. In: Cognitive and Behavioral Practice 4 (1), S. 1-29
Abstract: Examines the characteristics of emotional abuse as experienced by therapists and presents methods by which clinicians can best maintain their professional decorum, responsibilities, objectivity, conceptual skills, and overall effectiveness. Therapists can facilitate their own staying on task, and reduce subjective levels of stress, by utilizing such self-help techniques as cognitive rehearsal, rational responding, assertiveness, and the use of social supports. These strategies help therapists to deal with patterns of hostile outbursts and boundary infringements from clients without feeling helpless and burned out and without terminating their clients prematurely out of desperation. Therapists can remain professional in managing emotionally abusive clients by making judicious use of documentation and supervisory consultations. Issues regarding appropriate termination of emotionally abusive clients are discussed in light of the ethical obligation not to abandon clients. The principle of 'therapist self-preservation,' which takes into account the therapist's need to consider his or her own well-being, along with the client's, is addressed.
