PRACTICAL ETHICS FOR PSYCHOLOGISTS
A Positive Approach. 3rd Edition
Samuel J. Knapp, Ed.D, Leon D. VandeCreek, Ph.D, and Randy Fingerhut, Ph.DAmerican Psychological Association, 2017
DESCRIPTION
Guided by the American Psychological Association's "Ethical Principles of Psychologists and Code of Conduct," this book illustrates how psychologists can actualize their ethical acumen in their daily work. The authors discuss a variety of ethically tricky areas for psychologists, including patient confidentiality and inappropriate relationships, and provide risk-reduction strategies as well as a five-step decision-making model for difficult ethical quandaries.
This third edition of Practical Ethics for Psychologists includes new findings on the science of morality and on working with morally diverse clients, and ethical issues regarding the use of social media and other online communications.
The reader will be able to:

• Apply codes of foundational ethical guidance on competencies
• Define informed consent and discuss APA's ethics code regarding the significance of it
• Examine ethical as well as clinical directives on boundaries in psychotherapy
• Apply ethical codes and guidance concerning confidentiality
• Recognize the signs of life-endangering patients and know when psychologists can and should disclose confidential patient information
• Review the skills one needs to practice forensic psychology
• Describe assessment: its goals and principles, its uses, and compile a resource list of assessment-measurement tools
• Explain and apply therapy principles and enforceable standards
• List any special considerations the APA's Code applies toward business ethics
• Describe foundational ethical theories and codes directed specifically toward educators
• Provide guidance to supervisors on resources to ethics in the workplace and how to apply this guidance
• Aim the same ethical considerations to scientific and other researchers
