Summary:

This book was written to help researchers, practitioners, and teachers in psychology become more discerning about their own behavior and the ethical constraints under which they work. This new edition reviews the basic ethical issues involved in the many roles psychologists play and updates readers on such complex issues as multiple relationships; privacy, privilege, and the duty-to-warn; and deception in research. Each of the 10 chapters includes classic and recent articles and books that illuminate the most salient points related to ethics. Over 30 new articles and commentary have been added on topics such as testifying as an expert witness, providing services on the Internet, and practicing ethically within the parameters of managed care. In addition to the sanctioned ethics codes and guidelines of the American Psychological Association, this new edition considers the ethics code of the Canadian Psychological Association. The volume prepares psychologists and psychologists-in-training to grapple with the often conflicting demands of being ethical in complex situations.
