Child Psych

Answer: D - Violation of the APA Ethics Code standards is considered a serious offense, and the APA not only has the power to impose harsh sanctions itself, but to notify other parties, so that they, too, can take disciplinary action. Offenders may find themselves not only stripped of APA membership, but also membership in other professional organizations such as affiliate state psychological associations and, in addition, even lose their license. In other words, violation of Ethics Code standards is an act that can, in effect, end a psychologist’s career.
