Extract

A Casebook of Ethical Challenges in Neuropsychology. Shane S. Bush (Ed.). 2005. New York: Psychology Press. 300 pp., $87.50 (HB).

The publication of Ethical Principles of Psychologists and Code of Conduct by the American Psychological Association (2002) became an impetus for A Casebook of Ethical Challenges in Neuropsychology, edited by Shane Bush. Dr. Bush was also senior co-editor of Ethical Issues in Neuropsychology (Bush & Drexler, 2002), a volume that was specifically intended to aid neuropsychologists who were struggling with ambiguities related to the general guidelines in the APA 1992 Ethics Code. Both volumes are part of the Taylor and Francis series entitled Studies on Neuropsychology, Development, and Cognition. In the current volume's Foreward, Richard Naugle acknowledges how difficult it can be to obtain an overview of the ethics code and emphasizes how important it is that psychologists both understand the code and provide reasoned responses based on its standards in order to engage in ethical practice. His endorsement of this volume as a means to that end is not misguided.
