Reviews
"Knapp and VandeCreek have provided us with a
clearly and incisively written guidebook which identifies and explains
the changes reflected in the 2002 revision of the APA Code of Ethics as
it evolved from the 1992 version. An excellent blending of the scholarly
and the practical, the guidebook keeps us aware throughout its
analyses, of the aspirational as well as the enforceable elements in the
Code, as it provides rationales, helpful case examples, and cautions
for the reader. It should serve the profession well as an excellent
textbook for students, and as an invaluable resource for psychologists
of all pursuits and at all stages of career. This is surely a reference
book for the desk, rather than the shelf!"
-Mathilda B. Canter, PhD, Phoenix AZ
"This is the insider's guide to the newly revised APA
Ethics Code. The authors go far beyond reviewing changes to the Ethics
Code. They very clearly explain the implications of these changes for
our practices and guide us in how to implement these changes in our
professional roles. The implications of the new HIPAA guidelines are
also included and are well integrated into the text. This is must
reading for all psychologists, trainees, and graduate students."
-Jeffrey E. Barnett, PsyD, APA Council of Representatives, 2003 President of the APA Division of State and Provincial Psychological Association Affairs
"This superbly written text takes all of the work
out of learning the new Ethics Code. The classification of all standards
as the same, similar, or new in comparison to the 1992 Code; the
explanations of complex and uncharted concepts such as the application
of HIPAA rules to the Code; and effectively crafted case illustrations
that capture the essence of decision making processes place this book in
a 'must read' status. Knapp and VandeCreek have presented
practitioners, educators, researchers, and students with an enriching
and intellectually insightful gift in this reference guide."
-Linda F. Campbell,
PhD, Associate Professor, Department of Counseling and Human Development, University of Georgia
"[This book] conceptually clarifies the similarities
and differences between the old Code and the new, and gives a clear
rationale for why and where changes have been made.... The
organization of the book is excellent, with sensitive and detailed
discussions of such complex issues as multiple relations and informed
consent, as well as disclosures, with a concise, yet comprehensive view
of major legal issues, such as the duty to protect third parties....
In general, the book is clear and articulate, giving detailed rationales
regarding ethical decision-making and how to follow the dictates of the
different Standards."
-David L. Shapiro, PhD, ABPP (Forensic), Associate Professor of Psychology, Nova Southeastern University
