Advanced Ethics and Assessment in Psychology - PSY471
This unit is designed to provide an overview of ethical, conceptual and professional issues in relation to the practice of psychology, and to introduce students to the history, theoretical and empirical bases of some of the most widely used cognitive and personality tests. Domains of assessment explored are intelligence, personality, organisational psychology and neurological assessment. In the ethics portion of this unit the focus is on the Code of Ethics of both the Australian Psychological Society and the Psychology Board of Australia. These codes will be discussed in the context of case scenarios of psychologist's work with clients. Other professional issues related to becoming a psychologist will be discussed.
