Advocating a positive, proactive approach to ethics, Samuel Knapp and Randy Fingerhut go beyond the minimal ethical requirements in clinical practice, research, education, forensic psychology, consultation, and other areas. Through vivid case examples, they explore ethical dilemmas that psychologists must face regarding issues including informed consent, confidentiality, maintaining competence, and protecting the welfare of clients and society at large.
The authors present three models to guide psychologists:
- the ethics acculturation model for balancing personal and professional ethics
- the five-step decision-making model for navigating complex ethical quandaries and
- the quality enhancement model for managing risk, particularly with patients who may cause harm to themselves or others.
