Ethics for Psychologists
A Casebook Approach



October 2011 | 568 pages | SAGE Publications, Inc
Examines the American Psychological Association's Ethics Code using subtle and complex cases and vignettes that requires any student or psychologist to contemplate the issues carefully and consider appropriate actions.

The authors encourage an ethical process of analysis, deliberation, and decision making. Not only does the book describe complex ethical dilemmas that any of psychologist or counselor might encounter, but it also offers different frameworks through which to examine each dilemma: legal, moral, values-driven, and global - all while offering clear and succinct commentary on the dictates of the APA Code of Ethics.

The book also uses codes of ethics from other countries' psychological societies to offer commentary and analysis of the APA's.

Appendices

"My number one challenge is making the course relevant to the student, so they can see why they need to understand this. Related to this is tying it into morals and values so it is more than just another class. I think that one of the great strengths of this book of this book is its "real life" cases for the students to examine from multiple perspectives."

Sherry Dingman
Marist College

"The number one teaching challenge in this course is that students do not make a personal connection. I am constantly referring to case examples to make the connection to real life. I think the greatest strength of this book is that it starts with a vignette. This catches the readers' attention and makes an immediate connection to real-life experiences."

Eileen Estes
University of Louisville

"The authors' use of the moral background questions is an interesting perspective on the issues and one that you don't normally see addressed in conventional ethics textbooks. The questions are good guidelines to help a person gain some insight into how their own personal values impact their thinking about the issue at hand, and I appreciate this. I think that playing up the exploration of personal morality and the multicultural considerations are important in terms of differentiating this book from other ethics texts."

Erica Gannon
Clayton State University

"I believe the book has great appeal. Practitioners realize how important being ethically well informed is, and this book touches a lot of the right bases in the way it is organized and presented. It raises the important distinctions that exist between states in terms of laws relevant to psychological practice, and also discusses how cultural differences need to be factored in to what is considered 'good ethical behavior'."

Robert Doan
University of Central Oklahoma

"I think that this book has some very good strengths. It approaches ethics from a unique perspective that appeals to students. In addition to providing stimulating cases, it provides the framework and legal background important to psychologists in training. Amazing work! I do not see many weaknesses here - I believe that if you wanted to extend it to graduate counseling programs, you would have to add more content, but it is not necessary. The vignette approach will make the book much more interesting than its competitors."

Waiting to receive the book. I will let you know when I review it but yes, the curriculum designers have accepted it.
