Ethics For Psychologists: A Casebook Approach

Synopsis

Ethics for Psychologists: A Case Book Approach examines the American Psychological Association's Ethics Code using subtle and complex cases and vignettes that requires any student or psychologist to contemplate the issues carefully and consider appropriate actions. Using an engaging approach, the authors encourage an ethical process of analysis, deliberation, and decision making. Not only does the book describe complex ethical dilemmas that any of psychologist or counselor might encounter, but it also offers different frameworks through which to examine each dilemma: legal, moral, values-driven, and global - all while offering clear and succinct commentary on the dictates of the APA Code of Ethics. Finally, it asks readers to take charge of their own learning by moving beyond simply looking up each situation and finding 'the right thing to do', into a more active and participatory engagement. Features: * Issues of Concern section follows each case vignette and succinctly states the ethical dilemma and frames it for the reader in an easy-to-understand format using the APA Ethics Code. * Uses Codes of Ethics from other countries' psychological societies to offer commentary and analysis of the American Psychological Association's Code of Ethics * Moral Values sections frames each vignette's dilemma from the perspective of the implicit and explicit values and morals which inform each potential issue and resulting decision. * Legal Issues discussion examines each vignette with two examples of applicable state law, and offers commentary on legal aspects of each ethical issue.
