A Principle-Based Analysis of the 2002 American Psychological Association Ethics Code.

The authors adopt a position that the Standards in the American Psychological Association (APA; 2002) Ethics Code should be based on or be logically related to some underlying ethical theory. The authors then review the 2002 APA Ethics Code from the standpoint of principle-based (prima facie) ethics. Their analysis shows that almost all of the enforceable standards in the 2002 APA Ethics Code are based on or can be linked logically to the criteria of principle-based ethics.

Ethical principles of psychologists: (Amended June 2, 1989).

Psychologists respect the dignity and worth of the individual and strive for the preservation and protection of fundamental human rights. They are committed to increasing knowledge of human behavior and of people's understanding of themselves and others and to the utilization of such knowledge for the promotion of human welfare. While pursuing these objectives, they make every effort to protect the welfare of those who seek their services and of the research participants that may be the object of study. They use their skills only for purposes consistent with these values and do not knowingly permit their misuse by others. While demanding for themselves freedom of inquiry and communication, psychologists accept the responsibility this freedom requires: competence, objectivity in the application of skills, and concern for the best interests of clients, colleagues, students, research participants, and society. In the pursuit of these ideals, psychologists subscribe to principles in the following areas: 1. Responsibility, 2. Competence, 3. Moral and Legal Standards, 4. Public Statements, 5. Confidentiality, 6. Welfare of the Consumer, 7. Professional Relationships, 8. Assessment Techniques, 9. Research With Human Participants, and 10. Care and Use of Animals. Acceptance of membership in the American Psychological Association commits the member to adherence to these principles. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved)

American Psychological Association Dues.

This commentary criticizes the recent American Psychological Association dues increase. APA is obviously two things, a scientific organization and a psychologist's union. While the author wishes to support the national scientific organization in psychology, he is opposed to almost all of the activities of the psychologist's union, including certification, standardization of training for psychologists, "job protection" measures, and the rest. Thus the author finds himself being forced to either pay out a substantial sum of money each year to support activities which he opposes, or else to resign from the national scientific organization in his field.
