Confidentiality
Psychologists cannot break client-therapist confidentiality, but a counselor may feel conflicted in some cases.
A real life example of this is when a patient tells the psychologist something that may harm another person. In this case, the psychologist is having a counseling session with a married couple who is falling apart. The husband admits that he is cheating his wife with someone else. The ethical dilemma here is if the psychologist will tell the wife if her husband is cheating on her in order to let her know the truth or not to tell in order to keep them from falling further apart.
Another real life example is a case wherein the patient admits that he has killed someone. A psychologist's ethical dilemma is if he would tell the police or keep it because of confidentiality.
Conflict of Relationships
Problems with dual or blurred relationships can occur, and are particularly common in small towns and rural areas.
An example of this Type of Ethical Dilemma for Psychologists is when your patient is your ex boyfriend or girlfriend. In that case a psychologist need to deal with his/her feelings for the person.

Payment
A client's inability to pay and limits of insurance coverage can lead to ethical dilemmas.
In this case, if a psychologist's client is gravely sick but is unable to pay a psychologist is going to have an ethical dilemma. He/she needs to decide whether he/she would continue treating the patient without pay or he/she will not continue the sessions because the patient can not pay and if the psychologist will stop the session the patient might worsen. This is the real life example in this Ethical Dilemma of Payment.

Forensic Psychology
A psychologist may become increasingly more willing to testify in court and skew his testimony for clients most willing to pay.
This Moral Dilemma's real life example is when a Psychologist is in a court setting and he/she is being bribed to change the truth and tell the court a different story. The dilemma in this is that he/she is pressured with the money being offered that is why he/she is facing an Ethical Dilemma.
