| Summary |
"As psychologists, we make decisions every day that incorporate our fundamental beliefs and values regarding what is appropriate in our interactions with patients, health care professionals, and institutions. Psychology's global view of practice is grounded in the American Psychological Association's (APA) Ethics Code. The APA Ethics Code provides an overarching structure that sets the stage for evaluating and enforcing adherence to what is and is not acceptable psychology practice within our current sociocultural climate. However, considering the APA Ethics Code simply as a set of post hoc sanctions on our professional behavior fails to embody an important facet of the ethical decision-making process. It is the applicability of the APA Ethics Code to real-life concerns that we directly address in our volume. This casebook is designed to offer guidance on how to approach ethical issues in diverse health care settings consistent with the ethical principles and standards under which we practice. The ethical analyses of the cases presented in this book illustrate the basic premise that ethical principles and standards serve as guideposts in the often murky process of clinical decision making. The goals of this casebook are to create a text that is interesting and useful to the clinician in everyday practice and that enhances the educational process of psychologists and students. Its expressed purpose is to make the ethical decision-making process both meaningful and user friendly"--Introd. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2005 APA, all rights reserved) |
