Keeping Up The Good Work: A Practitioner's Guide To Mental Health Ethics

Psychologists Haas and Malouf begin with a general discussion of professional ethics and describe a framework for ethical decision making. They then provide chapter-length discussions of various ethical issues related to clinical practice. Among the topics they discuss are informed consent, dual relationships, paternalism, loyalty conflicts, collegial relations, record keeping, finances, public statements, forensics, telephone and electronic services, research, and practitioner decay. Appendices include various codes of ethics and an informed consent statement. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
