Summary:

This third edition of Ethical Conflicts in Psychology describes the fundamental ethical issues embedded within a psychologist's medley of roles and updates readers on such complex issues as multiple relationships, privacy and privilege, duty-to-protect, and deception in research. This classic volume includes materials that have been carefully excerpted to illuminate the most salient points related to ethics. Excerpts are then linked to original commentary that highlights opposing viewpoints, poses lively discussion questions and vignettes, and suggests additional readings in selected areas. This volume also contains the American Psychological Association's newly sanctioned 2002 Ethical Principles of Psychologists and Code of Conduct as well as the Ethics Committee of the American Psychological Association's revised Rules and Procedures.

In this volume, over 20 articles published since 1999 and additional commentaries have been added on contemporary topics such as performing assessments, providing therapy, and conducting research on the Internet; navigating the new federal regulations obligations for transmitting health records electronically under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA); and practicing ethically under the boundaries of managed care. First published in 1995, Ethical Conflicts in Psychology quickly became a definitive and valued resource. Widely adopted as a textbook in graduate psychology courses in ethics and professional development, this innovative volume presents readers with over 100 different perspectives on crucial ethical issues under the guidance of an expert ethics educator, psychologist, and attorney. This volume will continue to help researchers, practitioners, and teachers in psychology become more discerning about their own behavior and the ethical constraints under which they work.
