| Summary |
This introduction/review is intended for psychology students who have had minimal preparation in ethics or codes of professional conduct, and for psychologists who need a review. In addition to background, it presents ethical decision making models. The book begins by introducing the history and concepts of the APA Ethics Code, then treats four ethical concepts in depth: competence, informed consent, privacy and confidentiality, and avoiding harm and exploitation. These four concepts are then applied to specific roles such as psychological assessment, psychotherapy, research and publication, and ethics in teaching, training, and supervision. Case studies include fictional vignettes based on actual transgressions |
