Warm-Up Activity 3.1: Review APA Code of Ethics

This week, review Standard 2: Competence of the APA Code of Ethics, located under your weekly resources.

Assignment

In addition to the APA code of ethics, you are also obligated to follow specific laws in your state. For this task, develop a chart that summarizes the specific laws for licensed mental health professionals in your state concerning the following:

  • Abuse Reporting
  • Duty to Protect
  • Unlawful Therapies
  • Licensure Laws
  • Romantic Relationships with students, supervisees and former clients
  • Reporting of Ethical Violations

Length: 2 to 3-page chart

You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.

Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.

Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.

The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.
