__________________________________ Laws, Regulations, and Ethics for Florida Psychologists, 2nd Edition
CONCLUSION Psychologists licensed in Florida have a responsibility to stay up to date on Florida laws and Board of Psychology rules that affect the practice of psychology. While these generally remain stable, there are occasional revisions and updates. This course provided a summary of the laws and rules that govern the profession in the state. Psychologists are encouraged to periodically review the full text of each, particularly at the conclusion of legislative sessions. Psychologists will face many situations during their careers requiring them to make a judgment about the best course of action. Conflicts between ethics and law, competing values, ethics and organization policies, and personal morals are not uncommon. The APA’s Ethical Principles of Psychologists and Code of Conduct are summarized in this course and provide the foundation for recognizing potential ethical dilemmas. While they provide invaluable guidance, they cannot address every situation. It is the responsibility of the psychologist to understand and apply these standards to the best of their ability. Use of a model or framework for ethical decision- making can help the psychologist navigate the complexities of ethical dilemmas and achieve the best possible outcome for their client.
