An excellent book that explores the ethical codes for psychologists . Through the use of an experiential format which includes numerous case examples throughout; this book is a must read for psychologists who want to be well versed in ethics for the practitioner.
Now in an updated second edition wholly rewritten to be made consistent with updated standards of the newly revised APA Ethics Code (2002), Ethics In Plain English: An Illustrative Casebook For Psychologists is a resource especially intended for psychologists. Describing how to apply the principles of the Ethics Code of the American Psychological Association to ethical dilemmas commonly encountered. From issues of privacy and confidentiality, to regulations concerning advertising and public statements, to standards for education, training, research and publication, and much more, Ethics In Plain English breaks down the required expectations in to practical and easily understandible terms. Gray boxes highlight points that go straight to the heart of the matters discussed, such as "Never pay, give gifts to, or compensate a newspaper reporter, radio or TV reporter, Internet journalist, or any other journalist in the print or electronic media in return for an interview endorsing or promoting your work in a news story", "If you review or screen the work of others, resist the temptation to use the newly submitted information for any purpose whatsoever", and "Enough is enough! Do not provide endless therapy if the patient does not need it, is not being helped in some way, or, even worse, is being harmed by continuing to see you (e.g. financially, by fostering overdependence, or some other way)". An absolute must-read for practicing and aspiring psychologists.
Dr. Nagy does an excellent job of describing ethical dilemmas and relating those to the APA ethics code. However, he does very little to help the reader understand how to navigate such matters. Specifically, at the end of each vignette, he poses a number of challenging question about the dilemma but provides NO direction on answering those questions. Because this aspect of the book, leave the reader "hanging" I would NOT suggest it use in the classroom. It's as if half of the book is missing!!!
I am using this book to study for the Ethics portion of my preliminary examinations, and have found it to be a pretty helpful resource in terms of thinking through ethics issues. Sometimes the examples and questions are a little silly, but for the most part the book portrays realistic-sounding vignettes that could come up in clinical practice and teaching.
I have taught graduate courses in professional ethics since 1990, and I have taught quite a few different texts. My students have found this text to be extremely helpful in illuminating the practical applications of the American Psychological Association's Ethical Principles of Psychologists and Code of Conduct. The title perfectly conveys the tenor of the book. I look forward to teaching it again next semester.Janet T. Thomas
I bought this book in order to complete a continuing education requirement as a psychologist. The book is ok, perhaps better for a beginner. The test was totally unrelated to the material in the book, and that is what disappointed me so much. I ended up not reading the book, taking the test anyway and passing. So, if you buy this book for continuing ed, look out.
Good book to read and the examples helped me understand the different ethics codes. I enjoyed reading the book for class, I will even keep the book for reference later.
For us Students, especially with today's tight budgets, I find it rewarding to have text books from . It helps to have
