Reviews

This is not a book that will collect dust on shelves--it will be a key reading in graduate psychology courses in geropsychology, neuropsychology, ethics, and assessment. --PsycCRITIQUES The easy-to-follow decision-making model provided in Ethical Practice in Geropsychology will help clinicians make the most ethically sound decisions possible in challenging situations. Clinical vignettes illustrate how to handle ethical and legal issues in a variety of contexts and also will stimulate though and discussion. --SirReadaLot An exceptional contribution to the field, this book integrates ethics into the complex world of geropsychology practice. It will be useful for clinicians and educators alike. --Peter A. Lichtenberg, PhD, ABPP, Director, Institute of Gerontology, and Merrill Palmer Skillman Institute, Wayne State University, Detroit, MI This volume combines historical roots and contemporary theory with actual case examples. It fills a gap in ethics texts, addressing not only common clinical dilemmas but also those relating to business practices, research collaboration, and professional advocacy. --Jennifer Moye, PhD, ABPP, VA Boston, Boston, MA; Associate Professor of Psychology, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA
