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
