The laws and regulations pertaining to psychologists are subject to change across time and jurisdiction. It is necessary for psychologists to remain up to date on the laws and regulations pertinent to them and their clients. Additionally, it is becoming increasingly important to regularly review the foundational basics of ethics, as well as how these concepts and related codes of conduct should be applied in the psychology profession. Psychologists often work with vulnerable individuals in sensitive situations. An important aspect of being a mental health professional, through research or by providing therapeutic services, is being aware of the ethical issues faced by all psychologists. If you provide psychological services, you are obligated to remain informed about current ethical standards or issues.
- Non-Suicidal Self-Injury in Adolescents and Adults 4
Course release date: 10/09/2023
About the Course
Self-injury is a serious behavioral problem in which an individual purposefully inflicts damage to his or her body through methods such as cutting, scratching, burning, or other activities in the absence of suicidal intent. Research indicates high prevalence rates of self-injury, with between 13% and 45% of adolescents reporting having purposely self-injured at least once, and 4% to 28% of adult clinical populations reporting a lifetime occurrence of the behavior (Bentley, et al., 2014; Plener et al., 2016). Common methods of self-injury include skin cutting, scratching to the point of drawing blood, head banging or hitting, burning, and inserting sharp objects into the skin, among other methods. This behavior can result in serious medical complications and is a known risk factor for later suicidal behavior.
