1
00:00:01,320 --> 00:00:03,399
Speaker 1: All right, right now we're in the final category, which

2
00:00:03,399 --> 00:00:07,440
we're going to be talking about ethics. So ethical legal

3
00:00:07,480 --> 00:00:11,039
professional issues contain about sixteen percent of the E triple P,

4
00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:13,359
making it one of the most heavily weighted domains on

5
00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:15,679
the exam, which is kind of ironic because you have

6
00:00:15,720 --> 00:00:20,800
another ethics exam to take as well for licensing. The

7
00:00:20,839 --> 00:00:25,039
APA Ethics Code has two layers. The general principles are aspirational,

8
00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:27,839
meaning their values that guide the spirit of ethical work,

9
00:00:27,839 --> 00:00:31,199
but are not enforceable on their own. The ethical standards

10
00:00:31,199 --> 00:00:32,679
are enforceable.

11
00:00:33,719 --> 00:00:34,079
Speaker 2: Rules.

12
00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:37,439
Speaker 1: The actual conduct you can be held accountable for standards

13
00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:39,640
two three, four, sixty nine and ten are the most

14
00:00:39,679 --> 00:00:43,920
frequently tested and most applied in clinical work. Again, the

15
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:47,880
ethical standards are the enforceable rules standards two three, four,

16
00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:48,920
six' nine.

17
00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:52,359
Speaker 2: Ten let's take the five general.

18
00:00:52,399 --> 00:00:57,359
Speaker 1: Principles, first beneficence and non maleficence meanings strive to help avoid.

19
00:00:57,359 --> 00:00:59,600
Harm if you're disclosing a diagnosis to a, client the

20
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:03,479
principle says do it clearly and, compassionately not abruptly or

21
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:04,319
in cold clinical.

22
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:06,159
Speaker 2: Language fidelity and.

23
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:09,879
Speaker 1: Responsibility it means being, trustworthy honor your professional, obligations if

24
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:12,239
you promise and supervise the weekly, supervision you.

25
00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:12,680
Speaker 2: Show up for.

26
00:01:12,719 --> 00:01:16,760
Speaker 1: It integrity means promote honesty and. Accuracy you don't stretch

27
00:01:16,799 --> 00:01:19,959
outcomes in a treatment summary to satisfy a referring agencies,

28
00:01:20,079 --> 00:01:23,319
expectations even under pressure to show progress that isn't fully.

29
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:28,280
There justice means insure fairness and equal access to psychological.

30
00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:30,799
Services you don't decline a low income client because their

31
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:34,760
presentation looks more complex or time consuming than a client

32
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:35,159
with better.

33
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:37,480
Speaker 2: Insurance And, finally.

34
00:01:37,159 --> 00:01:40,719
Speaker 1: Respect for people's rights and dignity means, value, privacy, autonomy and.

35
00:01:40,799 --> 00:01:44,560
Diversity if a client refutes a psychological test and you

36
00:01:44,599 --> 00:01:48,680
think and you think would sharpen your diagnostic, clarity you

37
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:55,000
honor that, refusal even if it frustrates your. Process these

38
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:57,959
principles are not enforceable in themselves or the moral backdrop

39
00:01:58,079 --> 00:02:02,400
to the ethical. STANDARDS Icco standard number two is competence,

40
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:05,920
practice which are qualified to practice nothing. More psychologists must

41
00:02:05,959 --> 00:02:09,199
work within their boundaries of competence based on, education, training and.

42
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:13,520
Consultation they must obtain additional training or supervision before moving

43
00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:14,479
into new clinical.

44
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:15,439
Speaker 2: Territory they need.

45
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:18,199
Speaker 1: To recognize the limits of their cultural competence and consolet

46
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:20,360
or refer when they hit the limit and they need

47
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:24,159
to understand the implications of personal, impairment meaning illness or

48
00:02:24,159 --> 00:02:29,560
distress that compromises their ability to function. Professionally the e

49
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:31,919
triple pe twist here is a scenario where a clinician

50
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:33,800
is tempted to wing it or keep seeing a client

51
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:37,120
outside their specialized area without proper. Training the correct answers

52
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:41,680
almost always referral or. Supervision Ethical standard three is human

53
00:02:41,719 --> 00:02:45,520
relations and it houses several critical subareas and form. Consent

54
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:48,639
standard three point one must be obtained using in language

55
00:02:48,719 --> 00:02:52,360
understandable to the, client not clinical jargon that technically informs

56
00:02:52,759 --> 00:02:59,560
but functionally. Confuses multiple Relationships standard three point zero five

57
00:03:00,039 --> 00:03:02,120
and a psychologist and another role with the person's in

58
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:04,639
a relationship with someone closely associated.

59
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:07,759
Speaker 2: With the client or promises to enter a second role

60
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:10,120
in the. Future not all dual roles are.

61
00:03:10,199 --> 00:03:13,599
Speaker 1: Unethical we're about to become unethical if they impair, objectivity,

62
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:17,240
competence or. Effectiveness picture a therapist who ends up treating

63
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:19,199
their daughter's best friend's mother even while.

64
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:22,479
Speaker 2: Attention that creates role. Confusion that's ethically.

65
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 1: Risky Ethical standard Force privacy and confidentiality the heart of

66
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:32,199
trust in the therapeutic. Relationship keep what's private private unless

67
00:03:32,199 --> 00:03:35,879
clear exceptions. Apply the limits of confidentiality include harm to

68
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:38,719
self or, others suspected abuse of a, child, elder or

69
00:03:38,719 --> 00:03:42,159
a dependent, adult a court order or legal, obligation and

70
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:47,319
supervision or. Billing situations that require minimal. Disclosure confidentiality should

71
00:03:47,319 --> 00:03:50,560
be discussed at the start of treatment and revisited if circumstances.

72
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:54,360
Change electronic records need to be protected with an encryption

73
00:03:54,479 --> 00:03:55,039
and access.

74
00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:56,919
Speaker 2: Controls in group therapy.

75
00:03:56,599 --> 00:03:59,280
Speaker 1: Or family, work you need to clarify upfront who the

76
00:03:59,319 --> 00:04:02,120
client is and what confidentiality actually means in that.

77
00:04:02,199 --> 00:04:04,000
Speaker 2: Configuration here's an.

78
00:04:04,039 --> 00:04:07,560
Speaker 1: EXAMPLE a teenager reveals suicidal ideation and family therapy and

79
00:04:07,599 --> 00:04:10,120
the parents ask to see the. Notes what do you

80
00:04:10,159 --> 00:04:12,680
do While you protect privacy where you, can but you

81
00:04:12,719 --> 00:04:16,680
address the safety issue first while considering legal guardianship rights

82
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:19,519
and main titled parents and certain information regardless of the teen's.

83
00:04:19,519 --> 00:04:24,560
Preference ethical standard six is record keeping in. Fees maintain accurate,

84
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:28,000
timeling secure records that support service, quality continuity of, care

85
00:04:28,519 --> 00:04:32,240
and comply with study in federal laws LIKE hippa fee

86
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:35,720
practices must be agreed upon in, advance must avoid exploitation

87
00:04:35,879 --> 00:04:38,680
like surprise billing or, overcharging and sliding scales are fine

88
00:04:38,759 --> 00:04:45,879
only if offered consistently and fairly rather than. Arbitrarily ethical

89
00:04:45,959 --> 00:04:49,279
standard nine is. Assessment assessment isn't just about giving, tests

90
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:52,439
about using them. Responsibly that means using valid and reliable

91
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:57,040
instruments appropriate for the purpose and, population providing explanations and

92
00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:00,800
feedback to and understandable, language never basing decision on outdated

93
00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:05,319
norms or irrelevant. Tools guarding against, misuse especially by third

94
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:10,279
parties or in high stake. Settings the red flag the

95
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:13,680
exam loves diagnosing a client based on only ON mmpi

96
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:17,079
results without a clinical. Interview that's an ethic on a face.

97
00:05:17,199 --> 00:05:20,399
Value the test score alone never substitutes for clinical. Judgment

98
00:05:21,519 --> 00:05:25,240

104
00:05:44,439 --> 00:05:48,720
three requires discussing, confidentiality expectations and group norms at the,

105
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:52,120
outset since privacy in a group setting is fundamentally different

106
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:57,560
than an individual. Work interruption and termination under ten oh

107
00:05:57,639 --> 00:06:00,279

108
00:06:00,639 --> 00:06:03,959
therapy must be, interrupted and a firm rule against. Abandonment

109
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:06,680
you terminate only when goals are met or continue treatment is,

110
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:10,199
inappropriate and you provide referrals if. Needed when you hit

111
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:12,839
an actual ethical dilemma on the, exam use a structured

00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:20,279
what principles and standards are at? Stake consult the code

119
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:42,920
the wrong answer is usually doing nothing or deciding in.

120
00:06:42,959 --> 00:06:48,720
Isolation the right answer almost nearly always involves, consultation, documentation

121
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:50,040
and a rationale.

122
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:50,160
Speaker 2: Rooted in the.

123
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:55,160
Speaker 1: Code last piece risk management and digital. Practice because technology

124
00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:58,199
changes the application of ethics even when the underlying principles

125
00:06:58,199 --> 00:07:02,439
stay the. Same, psychology ensure platform security that's hip a

126
00:07:02,519 --> 00:07:06,480
compliant and form consent specific to online. Delivery awareness of

127
00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:09,839
the client's, location whether your licensure actually covers that, jurisdiction

128
00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:13,399
and an emergency plant case of disconnection or crisis mid.

Session on professional, liability maintain malpractice insurance document, clearly, thoroughly

130
00:07:18,959 --> 00:07:22,199
and respectfully when in. Doubt on social media and digital,

131
00:07:22,199 --> 00:07:25,519
boundaries don't friend, clients don't post identifiable client, content and

132
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:29,399
keep your professional presence separate from your personal. One and

133
00:07:29,439 --> 00:07:31,279
here's the last thing to leave. With The Ethics code

134
00:07:31,279 --> 00:07:33,240
is more than a list of. Don'ts it's a structure

135
00:07:33,279 --> 00:07:36,319
for knowing what to do when the situation gets. Complicated

136
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:39,040
the exam will ask you whether you know the, rules

137
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:40,959
but more than, that whether you can apply them when the,

138
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:44,560
ford when the road, forks because that's when ethics stops

139
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:49,120
being a guide becomes your liability. Shield hopeful that helps

140
00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:49,720
everyone
