Most mental health professionals and behavioral scientists enter
the field with a strong desire to help others, but clinical
practice and research endeavors often involve decision-making in
the context of ethical ambiguity. Good intentions are important,
but unfortunately, they do not always
protect the practitioner and client from breaches in ethical
conduct. Academics, researchers, and students also face a range of
ethical challenges from the classroom to the laboratory. Now in a
new expanded edition, Ethics in Psychology and the Mental Health
Professions, the most widely read and
cited ethics textbook in psychology, has emerged with a broadened
scope extending across the mental health and behavioral science
fields. The revised volume considers many of the ethical questions
and dilemmas that mental health professionals encounter in their
everyday practice, research, and
teaching. The book has been completely updated and is now also
relevant for counselors, marriage and family therapists, social
workers, and psychiatrists, and includes the ethics codes of those
groups as appendices. Providing both a critical assessment and
elucidation of key topics in the APA's
guidelines, this comprehensive volume takes a practical approach to
ethics and offers constructive means for both preventing problems,
recognizing, approaching, and resolving ethical predicaments.
Written in a highly readable and accessible style, this new edition
retains the key features which have
contributed to its popularity, including hundreds of case studies
that provide illustrative guidance on a wide variety of topics,
including fee setting, advertising for clients, research ethics,
sexual attraction, howto confront observed unethical conduct in
others, and confidentiality, among
others. Ethics in Psychology and the Mental Health Professions will
be important reading for practitioners and students-in training.
