Unit Catalogue

This unit will present a historical and comparative review of the APS code of Professional Conduct using 'ethical hypotheticals' in a number of applied and research settings; examine the notion of 'professionalism' in both client
service and multi-disciplinary settings. The scientist-practitioner model will be examined, and its implications for 'generic' practitioners and 'eclectic' practices. Other issues examined: turning points in the history of psychological testing; evaluating and developing tests; clinical, organisational, research and forensic testing; issues for rural psychologists.



This unit is taught online and includes 2 x 3-day compulsory on-campus intensive residential schools. The exact time and location of the intensives will be communicated to each student through Timetabling.
