Description
It is a common misnomer that ethical principles for neuropsychologists are only applicable within a clinical context. While the goals of forensic neuropsychology are vastly different compared to clinical neuropsychology, many of the same ethical principles apply. Moreover, most of the common ethical quandaries in neuropsychology actually emanate from the forensic arena, such as issues of competence, disclosure of raw data, and others. This presentation will seek to review which ethical principles are applicable in forensic neuropsychology, how ethics differ from laws, the role that neuropsychologists should play in the forensic arena, and the types of cases that may give rise to ethical considerations. We will consider common ethical quandaries that lead to complaints, and how to mitigate and manage ethical issues within the forensic neuropsychology arena. Suggestions for individual practice modification will be considered for neuropsychologists who are seeking to expand or modify their practice to include forensic activities.
After the webinar, participants will be able to:
2. Describe common threats to ethical practice in clinical neuropsychology.
3. Understand approaches for potential ethical quandaries in forensic neuropsychology.
4. Increase knowledge to proactively and retroactively mitigate ethical complaints.
Target Audience: Neuropsychologists who are engaged in forensic activities or are considering doing so.
