Ethical And Professional Issues

Ethical and professional issues related to the use of the term “psychological testing” in counseling are discussed. The term “assessment” is being used in licensure statutes and ethical codes in counseling, and assessment must be defined clearly and differentiated from psychological testing. A critique of Canon 7 on assessment in the new Code of Professional Ethics for Rehabilitation Counselors is also presented.

Should nurses carry their own malpractice insurance? This is a commonly asked question, to which no simple response can be given. The answer will be different for each individual nurse, and will depend upon a variety of factors; individual personal values will determine which factors are most important. Thus, while it is impossible to offer a definitive answer which is correct for all nurses, it is possible to provide a framework to aid in the development of individual answers. For purpose of discussion this column will examine the nursing malpractice insurance question from three perspectives — legal, ethical, and professional — though in reality, of course, the three overlap.The legal issues raised by the malpractice insurance question are the most straightforward and therefore the easiest to deal with. The first question is: do nurses need malpractice insurance at all? Nurses are now viewed (legally and otherwise) as professionals accountable for their own actions.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is twofold: first, to make a contribution to the theoretical understanding of documents and documentary agency in society through examples from a defined institutional and professional setting; and second, to create an understanding for the role of ethical codes in the process of defining and developing modern librarianship. Design/methodology/approach This study analyses the role of documentation carrying content of professional ethics in the formulation of modern librarianship. This is done through a series of example documents of various kinds, such as founding charters, peer handbooks and ethical codes systematically analysed through the use of document theory and theory on institutional change. Findings The findings of this study suggest that documents pronouncing ethical self-regulation within librarianship play a primarily legitimising role in situations where new types of libraries emerge or when libraries adapt to social change. The study proposes legitimacy as a key aspect of documentality, thus supplementing the established understanding of the concept. Originality/value This study is the first to analyse the role of ethical codes in libraries using document theory. It brings new knowledge to the role of ethical self-regulation in librarianship over time and in different institutional contexts. In suggesting a developed definition of documentality, it contributes to the theoretical understanding of the role of documents and documentation in institutions and in society at large.
