Introduction
This unit aims to provide students with a critical overview of ethical and professional issues relevant to clinical psychology practice. Ethical decision-making models will be applied to real-world case examples to assist students in identifying issues pertaining to complex and nuanced ethical and professional dilemmas. Students will be required to consider dilemmas involving competing ethical and professional duties and responsibilities. Students will also consider the interplay between ethics, morals, values and legal codes, as they relate to clinical practice.
