This completely updated edition of the leading ethics and law guide provides authoritative, timely information on professional standards and legal requirements for the delivery of school psychological services. Ethics and Law for School Psychologists, Fifth Edition covers a host of ethical and legal issues that are unique to the field.
Incl. informed consent for psychological services, children w/disabilities, educational malpractice, discipline
This book is most useful, and I would strongly recommend its purchase to other school psychologists. It serves as a readable sourcebook concerning the relationship of the Constitution and subsequent laws to the practice of school psychology; a helpful compendium of applicable standards; a useful presentation of implications of legal and ethical issues for diverse aspects of school psychology practice; and an excellent resource for decisionmaking in keeping with ethical and legal criteria.
