Report of the Ethics Committee, 1996.

The 1996 report of the Ethics Committee of the American Psychological Association (APA) addresses the revision of the Rules and Procedures, the revision of the Ethics Code, Ethics Committee membership, Ad Hoc policy, and Education Committee and Ethics Office staff information. In addition, Ethics Committee case data are presented including inquiries, preliminary investigations, formal cases, and adjudication. Educational activities and presentations are discussed. No new Ethics Committee policy statements were published in 1996; however, a resolution was adopted by the Board of Directors that defines when a member of APA is considered to be under scrutiny of the Ethics Committee.
