Summary
This
ethics workshop will address
ethical decision-making, the
relationship between ethics and law with
specific attention to Hawai’i state law,
and ways for practicing psychologists
and other mental health professionals to
minimize exposure to legal and ethical
liability.
This workshop will include a discussion
of the APA Ethics Code, with a focus on
the structure of the Code and specific
ethical standards that are especially
relevant to ethical practice. Reference
will be made to other mental health
professional codes of ethics, as a way
of more deeply understanding the APA
Ethics Code.
The program will emphasize how
psychologists can use the APA Ethics
Code to facilitate ethical
decision-making. Case
vignettes will be used to illustrate
ethical decision-making applied in
actual clinical practice.
