While most psychologists working in forensic contexts aspire to practice in a manner consistent with the highest
ideals of ethical practice, they face numerous and complex concerns and may be unclear about how to apply the Ethics
Code and Specialty Guidelines for Forensic Psychologists to their real-world issues. In Ethical Practice in Forensic
Psychology, Shane S. Bush, Mary A. Connell, and Robert L. Denney explore common ethical dilemmas forensic psychologists
may encounter in procedures including referrals, evaluations, documentation of findings and opinions, and testimony
and termination. The authors present and apply a practical ethical-decision making model to timely case vignettes
in the areas of civil, criminal, and child/family law to demonstrate how to approach the ethical challenges faced
in forensic psychology; they also offer suggestions for addressing potential ethical misconduct by colleagues.
This balanced and comprehensive volume will be a valuable addition to the library of forensic psychology students
and trainees, and career forensic psychologists.
