Working with older clients involves a number of unique ethical
challenges, including those related to the array of health concerns
that psychologists do not often encounter with younger clients,
such as Alzheimer's disease. Perhaps the greatest challenge for
geropsychologists is balancing the principles of respecting client
autonomy and promoting client welfare, especially when a client's
decision-making capacity is in question. Geropsychologists also
must negotiate the competing interests and expectations of clients
and their relatives, other healthcare professions, and the
institutions in which many older adults are evaluated and treated.
To help geropsychologists navigate these complex issues, this book
introduces a structured decision-making process that draws heavily
from principle-based and positive ethics and provides practical
applications of the APA Ethics Code while also accounting for
federal laws and regulations. Detailed case examples illustrate how
to apply this process in a variety of treatment contexts, including
hospitals, long-term care facilities, and hospice care. These
vignettes review unique considerations for assessment,
intervention, consultation, business practices, education and
training, and advocating for clients' rights. This book will also
help geropsychologists prepare for the ethics component of the
board certification exam.
