Essential reference book for psychologists

This book is essential for the shelf of any practicing psychologist or psychology student. It explicates the newest revision of the American Psychological Association's Ethics Code in a way that is interesting and understandable. My copy never gathers dust.

Essential reading for psychotherapists

Decoding the Ethics Code is must reading for psychotherapists from all the mental health guilds. Celia Fisher was a member of the APA committee that drafted the 2002 revision of the Ethical Code, and there is nothing like going to the source. The book is readable and informative, and helps to make sense of the new HIPAA regulations No ethical practitioner can afford to be without this resource.

Fantasticbooks meams what they say and say what they mean!

I was really excited when I received the book. Fantasticbooks stated that the book was in "new" condition and when I received it, it was. I also appreciated getting the book via USPS as opposed to other carriers. I like receiving the book in my PO Box instead of hoping that I am home when the other carriers come. I will continue to use this vendor as I continue to buy textbooks! EXCELLENT~

Her book provides in-depth discussions of the foundation and application of each ethical standard to the broad spectrum of scientific, teaching, and professional roles of psychologists.
