Synopsis: With full coverage of the APA Code of Ethics and engaging vignettes to draw students into the material, Ethics for Psychologists provides unique multicultural, moral, and legal perspectives to the standards of conduct in the field of psychology. This book describes complex ethical dilemmas students may encounter and offers a variety of frameworks through which to examine such dilemmas. Legal, moral, values-driven, and global approaches are provided in concise commentaries about the dictates of our own Code of Ethics. Students will be challenged to take control of their learning experience by moving beyond the basics of looking up each situation to find "the right thing to do," into a more active and engaged approach, with the goal of not only becoming ethical thinkers but informed decision makers.
