DECODING THE ETHICS CODE, 4th Edition
A Practical Guide for Psychologists
Celia B. FisherSage Publications, 2016
DESCRIPTION
Revised to reflect the current status of scientific and professional theory, practices, and debate across all facets of ethical decision making, this latest edition of Celia B. Fisher's acclaimed Decoding the Ethics Code: A Practical Guide for Psychologists demystifies the American Psychological Association's (APA) Ethical Principles of Psychologists and Code of Conduct. The Fourth 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 activities, avoid ethical violations, and, most importantly, preserve and protect the fundamental rights and welfare of those whom they serve.
EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVESThe reader will be able to:
• Apply ethical principles and standards to conduct one's work activities morally and avoid ethical violations
• Preserve and protect the rights and welfare of those you serve
• Apply the Ethics Code to the constantly changing scientific, professional, and legal realities of the discipline
• Examine in detail the foundation and application of ethical standards
• Describe enforcement of the code, professional liability issues, and the relationship between ethics and law
• Identify standards relevant to forensic practice, school psychology, use of the internet, prescription privileges, military and police psychology and managed care
• Describe the implications of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPPA) for compliance with standards
• Flag standards that represent significant new directions in ethics regulations and enforcement as compared to the previous code

EDITORIAL REVIEWS"This book is to be praised for emphasizing a working decision-making model as opposed to the 'What should you do if?' hypothetical approach that can create a false sense of security. It is gratifying to hear students approach ethical questions in this way. . ."
--Dr. Tom J. Brian
"I have continued to use the Fisher text because I find it clear, succinct, current, and accessible. Student reviews have been consistently positive about the text over the years."
--Richard P. Halgin
"I think [the Hot Topics and Need to Know sections] are very attractive components of the text, especially given the organizational structure of walking step by step through the code."
--Jeff Ashby
"The Hot Topics and Need to Know boxes are excellent additions. They bring in the most relevant practice changes in the field."
--Dr. Ida Dickie
