1
00:00:01.320 --> 00:00:03.399
<v Speaker 1>All right, right now we're in the final category, which

2
00:00:03.399 --> 00:00:07.440
<v Speaker 1>we're going to be talking about ethics. So ethical legal

3
00:00:07.480 --> 00:00:11.039
<v Speaker 1>professional issues contain about sixteen percent of the E triple P,

4
00:00:11.240 --> 00:00:13.359
<v Speaker 1>making it one of the most heavily weighted domains on

5
00:00:13.400 --> 00:00:15.679
<v Speaker 1>the exam, which is kind of ironic because you have

6
00:00:15.720 --> 00:00:20.800
<v Speaker 1>another ethics exam to take as well for licensing. The

7
00:00:20.839 --> 00:00:25.039
<v Speaker 1>APA Ethics Code has two layers. The general principles are aspirational,

8
00:00:25.120 --> 00:00:27.839
<v Speaker 1>meaning their values that guide the spirit of ethical work,

9
00:00:27.839 --> 00:00:31.199
<v Speaker 1>but are not enforceable on their own. The ethical standards

10
00:00:31.199 --> 00:00:32.679
<v Speaker 1>are enforceable.

11
00:00:33.719 --> 00:00:34.079
<v Speaker 2>Rules.

12
00:00:34.159 --> 00:00:37.439
<v Speaker 1>The actual conduct you can be held accountable for standards

13
00:00:37.520 --> 00:00:39.640
<v Speaker 1>two three, four, sixty nine and ten are the most

14
00:00:39.679 --> 00:00:43.920
<v Speaker 1>frequently tested and most applied in clinical work. Again, the

15
00:00:43.920 --> 00:00:47.880
<v Speaker 1>ethical standards are the enforceable rules standards two three, four,

16
00:00:48.240 --> 00:00:48.920
<v Speaker 1>six' nine.

17
00:00:49.240 --> 00:00:52.359
<v Speaker 2>Ten let's take the five general.

18
00:00:52.399 --> 00:00:57.359
<v Speaker 1>Principles, first beneficence and non maleficence meanings strive to help avoid.

19
00:00:57.359 --> 00:00:59.600
<v Speaker 1>Harm if you're disclosing a diagnosis to a, client the

20
00:00:59.640 --> 00:01:03.479
<v Speaker 1>principle says do it clearly and, compassionately not abruptly or

21
00:01:03.520 --> 00:01:04.319
<v Speaker 1>in cold clinical.

22
00:01:04.400 --> 00:01:06.159
<v Speaker 2>Language fidelity and.

23
00:01:06.200 --> 00:01:09.879
<v Speaker 1>Responsibility it means being, trustworthy honor your professional, obligations if

24
00:01:09.920 --> 00:01:12.239
<v Speaker 1>you promise and supervise the weekly, supervision you.

25
00:01:12.200 --> 00:01:12.680
<v Speaker 2>Show up for.

26
00:01:12.719 --> 00:01:16.760
<v Speaker 1>It integrity means promote honesty and. Accuracy you don't stretch

27
00:01:16.799 --> 00:01:19.959
<v Speaker 1>outcomes in a treatment summary to satisfy a referring agencies,

28
00:01:20.079 --> 00:01:23.319
<v Speaker 1>expectations even under pressure to show progress that isn't fully.

29
00:01:23.319 --> 00:01:28.280
<v Speaker 1>There justice means insure fairness and equal access to psychological.

30
00:01:28.319 --> 00:01:30.799
<v Speaker 1>Services you don't decline a low income client because their

31
00:01:30.840 --> 00:01:34.760
<v Speaker 1>presentation looks more complex or time consuming than a client

32
00:01:34.760 --> 00:01:35.159
<v Speaker 1>with better.

33
00:01:35.200 --> 00:01:37.480
<v Speaker 2>Insurance And, finally.

34
00:01:37.159 --> 00:01:40.719
<v Speaker 1>Respect for people's rights and dignity means, value, privacy, autonomy and.

35
00:01:40.799 --> 00:01:44.560
<v Speaker 1>Diversity if a client refutes a psychological test and you

36
00:01:44.599 --> 00:01:48.680
<v Speaker 1>think and you think would sharpen your diagnostic, clarity you

37
00:01:48.760 --> 00:01:55.000
<v Speaker 1>honor that, refusal even if it frustrates your. Process these

38
00:01:55.000 --> 00:01:57.959
<v Speaker 1>principles are not enforceable in themselves or the moral backdrop

39
00:01:58.079 --> 00:02:02.400
<v Speaker 1>to the ethical. STANDARDS Icco standard number two is competence,

40
00:02:02.480 --> 00:02:05.920
<v Speaker 1>practice which are qualified to practice nothing. More psychologists must

41
00:02:05.959 --> 00:02:09.199
<v Speaker 1>work within their boundaries of competence based on, education, training and.

42
00:02:09.280 --> 00:02:13.520
<v Speaker 1>Consultation they must obtain additional training or supervision before moving

43
00:02:13.560 --> 00:02:14.479
<v Speaker 1>into new clinical.

44
00:02:14.560 --> 00:02:15.439
<v Speaker 2>Territory they need.

45
00:02:15.360 --> 00:02:18.199
<v Speaker 1>To recognize the limits of their cultural competence and consolet

46
00:02:18.240 --> 00:02:20.360
<v Speaker 1>or refer when they hit the limit and they need

47

<v Speaker 1>to understand the implications of personal, impairment meaning illness or

48
00:02:24.159 --> 00:02:29.560

49
00:02:29.680 --> 00:02:31.919
<v Speaker 1>triple pe twist here is a scenario where a clinician

50
00:02:31.960 --> 00:02:33.800
<v Speaker 1>is tempted to wing it or keep seeing a client

51
00:02:33.840 --> 00:02:37.120
<v Speaker 1>outside their specialized area without proper. Training the correct answers

00:04:04.039 --> 00:04:07.560
<v Speaker 1>EXAMPLE a teenager reveals suicidal ideation and family therapy and

<v Speaker 1>like surprise billing or, overcharging and sliding scales are fine

88
00:04:38.759 --> 00:04:45.879

89
00:04:45.959 --> 00:04:49.279
<v Speaker 1>standard nine is. Assessment assessment isn't just about giving, tests

90
00:04:49.279 --> 00:04:52.439
<v Speaker 1>about using them. Responsibly that means using valid and reliable

136
