A woman calls you asking for information about her son who is a current client of yours. You have been

provide the woman with the information she has requested about her son.

B

provide the woman only with information that is relevant to the purpose of her request.

C

provide the woman only with that part of the record that pertains to her son before he turned 18.

D

provide the woman with information only with the permission of her son. - CORRECT ANSWER D

provide the woman with information only with the permission of her son.

ceased, and his permission is required to provide her with any information from his records.



Of the cases processed by the APA's Ethics Committee as the result of revocation of a psychologist's
license by a state licensing board, the most common complaint processed by the committee is which of
the following?



A

loss of licensure in another jurisdiction

B

sexual misconduct

C

breach of confidentiality

D

issues related to competence - CORRECT ANSWER A

loss of licensure in another jurisdiction



A review of the reports of the APA's Ethics Committee published in the American Psychologist from 2000
through 2008 reveals that loss of licensure is the most frequent reason for the complaints processed by
the Ethics Committee; followed by, in order, sexual misconduct with an adult, inappropriate practice
involving child custody, nonsexual dual relationship, and inappropriate practice involving insurance or
fees.



The court offers a defendant the choice of jail or an in-patient alcohol treatment program after he is
found guilty of driving while intoxicated. As the clinician who will be working with the man at the
treatment center, you should keep in mind that:



A

a waiver of confidentiality is not required because treatment has been court-ordered.

B

a waiver of confidentiality is not required because the man gave up his right to confidentiality by
committing the crime.

, C

a waiver of confidentiality is not required because the man gave up his right to confidentiality by
choosing the treatment program instead of jail.

D

a waiver of confidentiality is required and should be obtained before you release any information about
the man's treatment to the court. - CORRECT ANSWER d. CORRECT The usual procedure is for the
individual to sign a waiver of confidentiality when he/she chooses the treatment option. However, you
would want to check to make sure this has occurred and, if not, you would want to obtain a signed
waiver.



You suspect a colleague of violating ethical guidelines. To be consistent with the provisions of the Ethics
Code, you should:



A

report the colleague to the local Ethics Committee immediately.

B

report the colleague to the local Ethics Committee only if the ethical violation is a serious one.

C

attempt to handle the situation informally by discussing the violation with the colleague and file a report
only if he is uncooperative.

D

either handle the situation informally or file a report, depending on which course of action you believe is
most appropriate. - CORRECT ANSWER d. CORRECT Psychologists can either attempt to resolve an
ethical infraction informally or file a complaint with the Ethics Committee, depending on which course of
action they deem most appropriate. (Of course, it is always necessary to consider client confidentiality
first before taking any action, but none of the responses given address this issue.)



The provisions of the Ethics Code allow psychologists to use their own discretion about the best course
of action in cases where another psychologist is suspected of acting unethically.
