| Summary: | Naturally, the chapters vary in the extent to which they incorporate extensive research. For example, some chapters had fewer data to draw upon, whereas others (such as the ones on emotional competence and sexualized treatment relationships) were able to rely heavily on empirical research. Third, our profession has become more sensitive in recent years to issues of fairness and inclusiveness, especially in dealing with groups that historically have been marginalized in American history as well as American psychology. We asked authors to address diversity issues wherever it was appropriate. Consequently, discussions of diversity appear not only in the specific chapter on competence with diverse populations but also in other chapters as varied as research, emotional competence, and supervision. Finally, we wanted authors to offer their views on controversial issues, but we asked them to discuss them in a fair and even-handed manner, rest their conclusions on overarching principles, and acknowledge other reasonable perspectives. At times, authors reached conclusions with which we disagreed; we expect that some readers will as well. Our goal is not to claim a resolution of the issues, but rather to introduce readers to them and to stimulate productive discussions and exchanges of ideas"--Introduction. The general structure of this handbook parallels other handbooks in the new APA Handbooks in Psychology series. It is intended for practitioners, researchers, academic psychologists, and graduate students who seek a comprehensive review of a particular area of psychology. In comparison with many ethics textbooks, it covers a wider range of subjects and pursues them in greater detail. This handbook also reflects recent advances in research and technology that present new opportunities and challenges for practice and scholarship. Psychology is expanding into new areas, such as life coaching and providing services over the Internet. These are just two examples of developments that present novel ethical questions that deserve our attention, and we have attempted to give them and other developing challenges the attention they deserve. Several perspectives guided the development of this handbook. First, the issue of moral foundations is especially important to us: Psychologists can best appreciate ethical issues and behaviors when they understand them within the context of overarching ethical theory. Consequently, the chapters go beyond reciting a list of prohibitions and warnings to help readers consider practices in light of foundational moral perspectives. Second, we wanted authors to consider research relevant to their subject. |
