This book introduces psychologists and students to different perspectives on ethical issues related to professional, scientific, and academic conduct. Material is drawn from articles, book excerpts, legal decisions, statutes, and policy documents. Excerpts are accompanied by original commentary that highlights opposing viewpoints, poses lively discussion questions, and suggests additional readings. This fourth edition adds about 20 articles published since 2003, plus additional commentaries, on topics such as conducting research on the Internet, federal regulations regarding the transmission of health care records electronically, and practicing ethically within the boundaries of managed care. This edition covers the major changes made in 2002 in the APA Ethics Code as well as the 2001 revision of the Rules and Procedures by which complaints of ethical violations are adjudicated. The book can be used as a text in graduate psychology courses in ethics and in continuing professional education.
