Ethics Online CE Sale

Ethics is an area of study that deals with ideas about what is good and bad behavior. Ethics pertain to what constitutes appropriate conduct. The best way to think of ethics is as an ideal set of principles that a professional association develops on behalf of its members. Such associations include the American Psychological Association (APA), American Counseling Association (ACA) and the National Association of Social Workers (NASW) to name a few. Although different professional organizations have established ethical guidelines that define right or proper conduct for the members of their organizations, most of them address the same essential issues (e.g., confidentiality, informed consent, boundary issues). Ethics are necessary because they represent the gold standard to which you should aspire as a healthcare professional. Most licensed healthcare professionals are required to obtain a specified number of continuing education (CE) hours in ethics as part of a state or national accreditation renewal.

APA Code of Ethics

The current version of the Code, which was adopted by the American Psychological Association on August 21, 2002, has been in force since June 1, 2003. APA requests that inquiries concerning the substance or interpretation of the Code be addressed to the Director, Office of Ethics, American Psychological Association, 750 First Street, NE, Washington, DC 20002-4242.

The standards in this Ethics Code are used to adjudicate complaints brought concerning alleged conduct occurring on or after June 1, 2003. Complaints regarding conduct occurring prior to that date are adjudicated on the basis of the version of the Ethics Code that was in effect at the time the alleged conduct occurred.
 
The Code can be found on the APA web site, http://www.apa.org/ethics. It is available in HTML, PDF, and MS Word formats. It is suggested that you open or retrieve the Code from the APA site for reading in conjunction with this course.
 
The Code is comprised of four major sections: an introduction, a preamble, five general principles, and ten categories of specific ethical standards. The introduction discusses the intent, organization, procedural considerations, and scope of application of the Code. The preamble and general principles are described as offering “aspirational” goals, which are intended to encourage psychologists to aspire to the highest ideals of psychology practice. Even though the preamble and general principles are not themselves enforceable rules, APA suggests that they be considered by psychologists in arriving at an ethical course of action.

The five general principles are these:

1. Beneficence and Nonmaleficence. Within this principle, psychologists are urged to strive to benefit individuals with whom they work, to do no harm, and to safeguard their welfare and rights.
2. Fidelity and Responsibility. Psychologists are urged to uphold professional standards of conduct, clarify their professional roles and obligations, accept appropriate responsibility for their behavior, and seek to manage conflicts of interest that could lead to exploitation or harm.
3. Integrity. Psychologists are urged to seek to promote accuracy, honesty, and truthfulness in the science, teaching, and practice of psychology.
4. Justice. Psychologists are urged to recognize that fairness and justice entitle all persons to access to and benefit from the contributions of psychology and to equal quality in the processes, procedures, and services being conducted by psychologists.
5. Respect for People’s Rights and Dignity. Psychologists are urged to respect the dignity and worth of all people, and the rights of individuals to privacy, confidentiality, and self-determination.
