Studies involving children with mental, emotional, or behavioral
problems--or their families--have to meet certain standards of
research ethics. This book contains chapters on the kinds of
ethical dilemmas that typically occur in different types of studies
of children, and then presents 65 real-world cases from experts who
study children's mental health. These experts offer practical
suggestions for how to handle these dilemmas. Chapters on the
perspectives of parents, regulators, and bioethicists provide
additional points of view on these issues. Written in down-to-earth
language, this book will be useful for professionals who study
children, for those who train students in research methods, and for
parents who are thinking about participating in research studies.
In attempting to bridge the apparent gap between ethics and
science, the editors close this volume on a note commonly sounded
by researchers: more research is needed. Yet in this area, a new
kind of research is required. The science of scientific ethics must
be developed and expanded, and better understanding of the
determinants and circumstances under which children can comprehend
and evaluate risks and benefits is needed. Likewise, fuller
knowledge of the contextual factors affecting children's and
families' consent to participate in research is essential. In
particular, development of scales to assess children's ability to
comprehend risk-benefit issues, studies of families' reactions to
research procedures, and empirical data on the impact of various
forms of participant reimbursement will advance both science and
ethics. This volume should spur further research, serving as a
guide for current investigators, participating families,
institutional review boards, and policymakers who shape the
research enterprise.
Revised to reflect the latest edition of the American Psychological
Association's (APA) Ethical Principles of Psychologists and Code of
Conduct, Celia B. Fisher's acclaimed Decoding the Ethics Code Fifth
Edition explains and puts into practical perspective the format,
choice of wording, aspirational principles, and enforceability of
the code. Providing in-depth discussions of the foundation and
application of each ethical standard to the broad spectrum of
scientific, teaching, and professional roles of psychologists, this
unique guide helps practitioners effectively use ethical principles
and standards to morally conduct their work, avoid ethical
violations, and, most importantly, preserve and protect the
fundamental rights and welfare of those whom they serve. This
edition covers crucial and timely topics, with new sections on the
impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and strategies for applying the
social justice and liberation psychology moral frameworks to
ethical decision making; addressing personal biases and the
prejudices of those with whom psychologists work; and healing and
self-care for Black, Indigenous, and People of Color psychologists,
students and trainees.

What steps can be taken to incorporate a cultural perspective to
the evaluation of research risks and benefits? How can
investigators develop and implement respectful informed consent
procedures in diverse cultural and language communities? What are
ethical pitfalls and successful approaches to engaging in community
and participant consultation? The Handbook of Ethical Research With
Ethnocultural Populations and Communities, edited by Joseph E.
Trimble and Celia B. Fisher, addresses these and other key
questions in the first major work to focus specifically on ethical
issues involving work with ethnocultural populations. Filling gaps
and questions left unanswered by general rules of scientific
conduct such as those embodied in federal regulations and
professional codes, this Handbook will help guide ethical decision
making for social and behavioral science research with
multicultural groups for years to come. Key Features: Brings
together for the first time a multidisciplinary blend of national
leaders who specialize in the area of conducting research with
ethnocultural populations Addresses existing issues at
methodological, procedural, and conceptual levels for the
responsible conduct of research in the field Incorporates as
background a summary of leading research and scholarship on various
topics framed within the authors' personal successes, challenges,
and failures in the dynamic process of creating a multicultural
research ethic Includes real-world case examples to illustrate
significant ethical principles in the research venture more
concretely The Handbook is designed for graduate and advanced
undergraduate students in Psychology and will also be valuable for
social and medical science researchers and institutional review
boards. This book will also be of interest to ethicists and
bioethicists, policy makers, and foundations that fund research
involving multicultural populations. .

Recent studies have shown that as many as a third of all school
children show some signs of school dysfunction, and an increasing
body of evidence strongly indicates that aspects of family life are
basic determinants of children's school adjustment. In
""Contemporary Families: A Handbook for School Professionals"", 21
contributors examine the changing nature of American families,
discuss the relationship of home life to school and the critical
role of familial experiences, and develop and recommend
interventions. In Part 1, family configurations are discussed -
dual wage, single-parent, and step-families. Such families have
become far more prevalent in recent years, and are more vulnerable
to other social strains. The authors of Part II examine the
dimension of ethnic and cultural diversity. Hispanic,
African-American, and Korean families are considered, the ways in
which cultural behaviours influence school-related behaviours, the
effects of language socialisation and discrimination. Parts III and
IV examine families facing the highly stressful situations of
poverty, death and divorce, and the long-term stressors of learning
disability, chronic illness and psychological disturbances in both
children and parents. Part V is devoted to varying personal and
social resources among families. ""Contemporary Families"" attempts
to provide a theoretical framework from which school professionals
can develop an understanding of each child's unique family
circumstances on school adaptation, and from there begin to take
remedial steps. Truancy, drug and alcohol abuse, fighting,
illiteracy, school phobia, low academic performance, dropping out -
""Contemporary Families"" aims to show how preventive efforts
directed toward the family can stem these maladaptions before they
reach critical levels in children.
