The Relationship

The law of categorical judgment was applied to data on subjective weight in order to eliminate the possible biases. Conditions D, C, and a new approximation method were used. Stimuli were two series of plastic cylinders weighing 40 to 200 gm. The results indicate that linearity in the relationship between scale values R and stimulus values S increases as the number of assumptions decreases. When Scheffé's method is used, the relationship can be given by R = 2.5 S − 3.1, which is similar to that obtained by the new method of the law of categorical judgment.

Personal Case

“My patient refuses thickened liquids, should I discharge them from my caseload?” A version of this question appears at least weekly on the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association's Community pages. People talk of respecting the patient's right to be non-compliant with speech-language pathology recommendations. We challenge use of the word “respect” and calling a patient “non-compliant” in the same sentence: does use of the latter term preclude the former? In this article we will share our reflections on why we are interested in these so called “ethical challenges” from a personal case level to what our professional duty requires of us. Our proposal is that the problems that we encounter are less to do with ethical or moral puzzles and usually due to inadequate communication. We will outline resources that clinicians may use to support their work from what seems to be a straightforward case to those that are mired in complexity. And we will tackle fears and facts regarding litigation and the law.
