Speaker 1: All right, right now we're in the final category, which
Speaker 1: we're going to be talking about ethics. So ethical legal
Speaker 1: professional issues contain about sixteen percent of the E triple P,
Speaker 1: making it one of the most heavily weighted domains on
Speaker 1: the exam, which is kind of ironic because you have
Speaker 1: another ethics exam to take as well for licensing. The
Speaker 1: APA Ethics Code has two layers. The general principles are aspirational,
Speaker 1: meaning their values that guide the spirit of ethical work,
Speaker 1: but are not enforceable on their own. The ethical standards
Speaker 1: are enforceable.
Speaker 2: Rules.
Speaker 1: The actual conduct you can be held accountable for standards
Speaker 1: two three, four, sixty nine and ten are the most
Speaker 1: frequently tested and most applied in clinical work. Again, the
Speaker 1: ethical standards are the enforceable rules standards two three, four,
Speaker 1: six' nine.
Speaker 2: Ten let's take the five general.
Speaker 1: Principles, first beneficence and non maleficence meanings strive to help avoid.
Speaker 1: Harm if you're disclosing a diagnosis to a, client the
Speaker 1: principle says do it clearly and, compassionately not abruptly or
Speaker 1: in cold clinical.
Speaker 2: Language fidelity and.
Speaker 1: Responsibility it means being, trustworthy honor your professional, obligations if
Speaker 1: you promise and supervise the weekly, supervision you.
Speaker 2: Show up for.
Speaker 1: It integrity means promote honesty and. Accuracy you don't stretch
Speaker 1: outcomes in a treatment summary to satisfy a referring agencies,
Speaker 1: expectations even under pressure to show progress that isn't fully.
Speaker 1: There justice means insure fairness and equal access to psychological.
Speaker 1: Services you don't decline a low income client because their
Speaker 1: presentation looks more complex or time consuming than a client
Speaker 1: with better.
Speaker 2: Insurance And, finally.
Speaker 1: Respect for people's rights and dignity means, value, privacy, autonomy and.
Speaker 1: Diversity if a client refutes a psychological test and you
Speaker 1: think and you think would sharpen your diagnostic, clarity you
Speaker 1: honor that, refusal even if it frustrates your. Process these
Speaker 1: principles are not enforceable in themselves or the moral backdrop
Speaker 1: to the ethical. STANDARDS Icco standard number two is competence,
Speaker 1: practice which are qualified to practice nothing. More psychologists must
Speaker 1: work within their boundaries of competence based on, education, training and.
Speaker 1: Consultation they must obtain additional training or supervision before moving
Speaker 1: into new clinical.
Speaker 2: Territory they need.
Speaker 1: To recognize the limits of their cultural competence and consolet
Speaker 1: or refer when they hit the limit and they need
Speaker 1: to understand the implications of personal, impairment meaning illness or
Speaker 1: distress that compromises their ability to function. Professionally the e
Speaker 1: triple pe twist here is a scenario where a clinician
Speaker 1: is tempted to wing it or keep seeing a client
Speaker 1: outside their specialized area without proper. Training the correct answers
Speaker 1: almost always referral or. Supervision Ethical standard three is human
Speaker 1: relations and it houses several critical subareas and form. Consent
Speaker 1: standard three point one must be obtained using in language
Speaker 1: understandable to the, client not clinical jargon that technically informs
Speaker 1: but functionally. Confuses multiple Relationships standard three point zero five
Speaker 1: and a psychologist and another role with the person's in
Speaker 1: a relationship with someone closely associated.
Speaker 2: With the client or promises to enter a second role
Speaker 2: in the. Future not all dual roles are.
Speaker 1: Unethical we're about to become unethical if they impair, objectivity,
Speaker 1: competence or. Effectiveness picture a therapist who ends up treating
Speaker 1: their daughter's best friend's mother even while.
Speaker 2: Attention that creates role. Confusion that's ethically.
Speaker 1: Risky Ethical standard Force privacy and confidentiality the heart of
Speaker 1: trust in the therapeutic. Relationship keep what's private private unless
Speaker 1: clear exceptions. Apply the limits of confidentiality include harm to
Speaker 1: self or, others suspected abuse of a, child, elder or
Speaker 1: a dependent, adult a court order or legal, obligation and
Speaker 1: supervision or. Billing situations that require minimal. Disclosure confidentiality should
Speaker 1: be discussed at the start of treatment and revisited if circumstances.
Speaker 1: Change electronic records need to be protected with an encryption
Speaker 1: and access.
Speaker 2: Controls in group therapy.
Speaker 1: Or family, work you need to clarify upfront who the
Speaker 1: client is and what confidentiality actually means in that.
Speaker 2: Configuration here's an.
Speaker 1: EXAMPLE a teenager reveals suicidal ideation and family therapy and
Speaker 1: the parents ask to see the. Notes what do you
Speaker 1: do While you protect privacy where you, can but you
Speaker 1: address the safety issue first while considering legal guardianship rights
Speaker 1: and main titled parents and certain information regardless of the teen's.
Speaker 1: Preference ethical standard six is record keeping in. Fees maintain accurate,
Speaker 1: timeling secure records that support service, quality continuity of, care
Speaker 1: and comply with study in federal laws LIKE hippa fee
Speaker 1: practices must be agreed upon in, advance must avoid exploitation
Speaker 1: like surprise billing or, overcharging and sliding scales are fine
Speaker 1: only if offered consistently and fairly rather than. Arbitrarily ethical
Speaker 1: standard nine is. Assessment assessment isn't just about giving, tests
Speaker 1: about using them. Responsibly that means using valid and reliable
Speaker 1: instruments appropriate for the purpose and, population providing explanations and
Speaker 1: feedback to and understandable, language never basing decision on outdated
Speaker 1: norms or irrelevant. Tools guarding against, misuse especially by third
Speaker 1: parties or in high stake. Settings the red flag the
Speaker 1: exam loves diagnosing a client based on only ON mmpi
Speaker 1: results without a clinical. Interview that's an ethic on a face.
Speaker 1: Value the test score alone never substitutes for clinical. Judgment
Speaker 1: ethical standard ten is when is therapy and it starts
Speaker 1: with consent and continues through termination inform consentautor ten oh
Speaker 1: one addresses, methods, risk confidentiality and. Alternatives ten two requires
Speaker 1: clarifying roles under couples and family, work who's actually the
Speaker 1: client and who has access to records at how conflicts
Speaker 1: of interests will be Managed group therapies under TEN oh
Speaker 1: three requires discussing, confidentiality expectations and group norms at the,
Speaker 1: outset since privacy in a group setting is fundamentally different
Speaker 1: than an individual. Work interruption and termination under ten oh
Speaker 1: nine ten ten requires a plan for client care if
Speaker 1: therapy must be, interrupted and a firm rule against. Abandonment
Speaker 1: you terminate only when goals are met or continue treatment is,
Speaker 1: inappropriate and you provide referrals if. Needed when you hit
Speaker 1: an actual ethical dilemma on the, exam use a structured
Speaker 1: decision making. Model first identify the, problem what's the, Dilemma
Speaker 1: what principles and standards are at? Stake consult the code
Speaker 1: and laws for number. Two Three consult colleagues or. Supervisors,
Speaker 1: four evaluate potential courses of. Action five consider consequences for all,
Speaker 1: stakeholders not just the client in front of. You Six
Speaker 1: document the reasoning and action. Taken, Seven reflect and revise
Speaker 1: for the. Future THE e TRIPLE p tip worth. Memorizing
Speaker 1: the wrong answer is usually doing nothing or deciding in.
Speaker 1: Isolation the right answer almost nearly always involves, consultation, documentation
Speaker 1: and a rationale.
Speaker 2: Rooted in the.
Speaker 1: Code last piece risk management and digital. Practice because technology
Speaker 1: changes the application of ethics even when the underlying principles
Speaker 1: stay the. Same, psychology ensure platform security that's hip a
Speaker 1: compliant and form consent specific to online. Delivery awareness of
Speaker 1: the client's, location whether your licensure actually covers that, jurisdiction
Speaker 1: and an emergency plant case of disconnection or crisis mid.
Speaker 1: Session on professional, liability maintain malpractice insurance document, clearly, thoroughly
Speaker 1: and respectfully when in. Doubt on social media and digital,
Speaker 1: boundaries don't friend, clients don't post identifiable client, content and
Speaker 1: keep your professional presence separate from your personal. One and
Speaker 1: here's the last thing to leave. With The Ethics code
Speaker 1: is more than a list of. Don'ts it's a structure
Speaker 1: for knowing what to do when the situation gets. Complicated
Speaker 1: the exam will ask you whether you know the, rules
Speaker 1: but more than, that whether you can apply them when the,
Speaker 1: ford when the road, forks because that's when ethics stops
Speaker 1: being a guide becomes your liability. Shield hopeful that helps
