Integrated services, collaboration, and consultation
Integrated services, collaboration, and consultation are common in the field of psychology. Psychologists work with a wide range of providers (each having their own ethical standards) in tangential fields including but not limited to legal entities, children and family services, counselors, educators, and those in the medical field. Should the APA ethics code regarding internal factors such as competence, privacy/confidentiality, record keeping and fees, education and training, and assessment be applied to these tangential fields? Why or why not?
