Ethical Issues Facing Psychologists in Integrated Care Settings

This workshop will present ethical considerations for psychologists working in integrated care settings. The similarities and differences between the American Psychological Association’s Ethics Code and the ethics codes of other professions commonly represented on interdisciplinary teams will be described. In addition, common ethical issues facing psychologists working on interprofessional teams will be discussed. Finally, tools for ethical decision-making in the face of ethical conflicts that may arise in integrated care settings will be explored.
