Popis: Chapter 8 reviews the Ethical Principles of Psychologists and Code of Conduct adopted by the American Psychological Association (APA) in 2002, and approved with amendments in June of that year. It focuses on some of the very basic questions and definitions in areas of the code as they apply to working with children. It also identifies potential risks associated with working with children as related to the professional code of ethics and to provide suggestions to aid in minimizing these risks. It also provides a model of helpful dialogue for the child clinician when ethical issues arise, which will assist the child and adolescent psychologist in navigating the complicated maze woven by all the interested parties tied to the child in treatment. While focused primarily on clinical practice, some discussion on issues about conducting research with children is also covered.
