Code of ethics review

 

Step 1. Read and be familiar with the APA Code (https://www.apa.org/ethics/code/ethics-code-2017.pdf
what I chose: https://higherlogicdownload.s3-external-1.amazonaws.com/AMHCA/2%20AMHCA%20Code%20of%20Ethics-2020-2.pdf?AWSAccessKeyId=AKIAVRDO7IEREB57R7MT&Expires=1679416511&Signature=SD1r2boQYSmLdXrxLG531JfZE0g%3D).
Step 2. Search for and select a code of ethics from either (a) a US profession that is related to psychology (e.g. social work, physical therapy, engineering, banking, legal services, medicine or similar) or your likely future work area (e.g. banking, HR, finance, advertising) or (b) search for and select a code of ethics from a psychological organization in another country; I encourage you to explore widely for this step.

Step 3.
(a) Write a comparison of the code you have selected with that of the APA. Do this by identifying:
1. what ethical principles and issues are common to both;
2. which of the key elements each code has or emphasizes;
3. elements or principles unique to either code;
4. propose possible reasons for the differences in the two codes (300-600 words).
(b) Identify how each code might have been influenced by the special needs of different organizational pressures or national cultures. (300-600 words)
(c) Identify how well each code (and its associated guidelines, if any) specifically addresses and accommodates the needs and values of a minority or marginalised group of interest to you. (200-400 words)
(d) Write a brief closing summary stating which code you would prefer to work under and why. (100-200 words).
Write you work in APA format. Refer to any relevant references and cite them in APA format also.
