Summary:
"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 preventing problems and for recognizing, approaching, and
resolving ethical predicaments."
"Written in a highly readable and accessible style, this new edition
retains the key features that 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, how to confront observed
unethical conduct in others, and confidentiality. Ethics in
Psychology and the Mental Health Professions will be important
reading for practitioners and students in training."--BOOK JACKET.
