The Ethics study unit will introduce students to ethical issues and challenges in psychology as a profession. The five lectures will cover questions such as: What do professional Codes of Ethics say about the rights, duties, and responsibilities of psychologists? What are some of the ethical controversies that have occupied psychologists, in the past and today? How can you prepare to deliberate over ethical issues and dilemmas that may arise in the course of your future career as a psychologist, using ethical theories and professional codes? Four tutorials will train students use an ethical case study method to deliberate and make decisions in real-life situations. Ethical cases will be examined in clinical psychology, research, and the testing and implementation of psychological interventions and result in a short group case study project.
