After perusing the APA's code of ethics, can you describe a violation that occurred in any of these areas? Which violations seem the most severe to you? Have you ever been witness to such a violation? 1 Paragraph

Answer 1

After perusing the APA's code of ethics, one example of a violation that can occur is in the area of confidentiality. If a psychologist breaches a client's confidentiality without appropriate consent or legal mandate, it would be considered a violation. This includes disclosing information to unauthorized individuals or using it for personal gain. Other severe violations could potentially include exploitation or harm to clients, such as engaging in sexual relationships or conducting experimental treatments without informed consent. Personally, I have not been witness to such violations, but it is important to prioritize and address them to ensure the well-being and trust of clients.
