Ethics In Plain English: An Illustrative Casebook For Psychologists

Nagy is in independent practice and also teaches in the Dept. of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Stanford U. He offers psychologists a practical and engaging resource demonstrating how to apply the principles of the Ethics Code of the American Psychological Association (APA) to the ethical situations they face in their practices. The text includes each ethical standard, reproduced in its entirety and then translated into everyday English, followed by an illustrative fictional case vignette. Designed to be used as a companion piece with the most recent (2002) revision of the APA Ethics Code, the text has been revised in form and structure to reflect changes in the APA document. In addition, all of the vignettes have been rewritten and discussion questions added for every standard. Annotation 穢2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
