Description

The Code of Ethics of the American Speech-Language-Hearing Associations states "...hold paramount the welfare of persons served professionally." But how do clinicians balance the financial demands of their service-oriented business with their interest in the welfare of the people they serve? In this text, Dr Resnick explores the various aspects of applied ethics to give speech-pathologists and audiologists a better understanding of professional ethics and what it means for the conduct of a profession. Solving ethical dilemmas, working with ethics committees, and other practical issues are covered to promote the preservation of professional ethics in daily practice.
