In order to be an ethical psychologist, one needs first an awareness of situations and circumstances in which ethical reasoning is required, secondly ethical, professional, and legal knowledge, and finally the skills to arrive at an ethically justifiable decision. This book is intended for students in professional psychology programs who intend to practice in Canada, for professional psychologists seeking to extend their knowledge about responsible practice, psychologists preparing to practice in Canada, and for psychologists in training either in practicum or internship settings. The authors, a psychologist and lawyer, examine ethical issues in accordance with the guidelines established in the Canadian Code of Ethics for Psychologists.
