Prepare a 3–4-page response to a colleague in which you explain ethical issues, analyze the professional implications of an ethical dilemma, and recommend an evidence-based course of action.
Preparation
Select the ethics case study for your specialization from the list located in the Required Resources section. Read the case study carefully, and then review the APA Ethical Principles of Psychologists and Code of Conduct linked in the Required Resources section. You will also need to locate at least three scholarly resources associated with ethics to support your work in this assessment.
Each case study is presented within the context of a colleague faced with an ethical dilemma and reaching out to you for professional advice. You will still need to format this assessment according to APA guidelines, since it is the writing style of the profession. Please include the case study you have chosen on the title page; for example, Ethics in Psychology: General Psychology: Health.
Requirements
For the case study you have selected:
• Explain the potential ethical issues in the situation. Are there conflicting ethical principles?
• Analyze the professional implications of the situation.
o Is the psychology professional practicing outside the scope of licensure?
o Is there a conflict of interest?
o Are there possible issues of confidentiality?
o Are there possible legal implications?
o What types of repercussions might occur?
• Recommend an evidence-based course of action for the psychology professional.
Additional Requirements
• Include a title page and reference page.
• Number of pages: 4–5.
• At least 3 current scholarly or professional resources, in addition to the APA Ethical Principles of Psychologists and Code of Conduct.
