Decoding the Ethics Code is must reading for psychotherapists from all the mental health guilds. Celia Fisher was a member of the APA committee that drafted the 2002 revision of the Ethical Code, and there is nothing like going to the source. The book is readable and informative, and helps to make sense of the new HIPAA regulations No ethical practitioner can afford to be without this resource.

This book is amazing! It helps the reader understand what is required of psychologists in simple but comprehensive terms. It also provides invaluable information about HIPAA laws that I found very helpful.

This book is essential for the shelf of any practicing psychologist or psychology student. It explicates the newest revision of the American Psychological Association's Ethics Code in a way that is interesting and understandable. My copy never gathers dust.

I had to buy this book for use in a doctoral level Ethics class, but I have also used it at the undergraduate level. The book is easy to read and explains the Ethics code in a clear way. I would recommend it!

I have several books which were written to assist in the practical applications of the APA ethics code. This book explains the issues, the rationales, and provides the clearest examples of the lot. I almost did not buy it but it was a required text in an advanced course. I am pleased to own and make use of it, and I wish it had been available when I first started studying and teaching the topic.

I was really excited when I received the book. Fantasticbooks stated that the book was in "new" condition and when I received it, it was. I also appreciated getting the book via USPS as opposed to other carriers. I like receiving the book in my PO Box instead of hoping that I am home when the other carriers come. I will continue to use this vendor as I continue to buy textbooks! EXCELLENT~

Excellent book for those in helping professions. I will keep this book and not resell it.

This book was very expensive (over $40 dollars, only a few hundred pages, and paperback), was missing about 30 critical pages, so I returned it and bought another,as I needed it for a class I'm taking. Getting the book expressed mailed was very expensive, so I had the expense of buying a second book and getting it expressed mailed to me. When I contacted the publisher, Sage Publications, they refused to help and stand behind the integrity of their product. They said it was probably an anomaly, I got unlucky, and it was just too bad that I was going to have to return it and pay more for the privilege of having a book I thought was complete, like most books, and I'd ordered well in advance of my class. It was a big inconvenience, not worth the price, and Sage Publications should be ashamed of their poor customer service.
