HEALTH CARE ETHICS FOR PSYCHOLOGISTS
A Casebook
Stephanie L. Hanson, Thomas R. Kerkhoff, and Shane S. Bush
American Psychological Association, 2004
LEARNING OBJECTIVES: The reader will be able to acquire a true understanding of the patients' specific contexts and the challenges to clinical decision-making. This dynamic view affords readers the opportunity to evaluate critically the resolutions offered or, alternately, to craft their own resolutions.
This book explores the ethical questions encountered most often by practitioners in health-care settings. Issues of informed consent, respect for patients' dignity and confidentiality, the balance between patient and family rights, and billing for services under managed care are just a few of the topics that challenge psychologists to uphold their ethical obligations across the health care continuum. This casebook offers a real-life view of ethical situations as they unfold, including case-by-case consideration of critical background information, key stakeholders, the direct relevance of specific APA principles and standards, and suggested steps to resolve ethical issues. Case examples in settings from the emergency room to long-term care vividly illustrate the complexities of ethical dilemmas.
