• Ethical and Professional Conflicts in Correctional Psychology (http://search.proquest.com.libproxy.edmc.edu/docview/614310220)
After you have read the vignette, answer the following questions in a 2- to 3-page paper:
• Should the evaluation, which is requested by the warden, be completed? Why or why not?
• Would your answer change if the psychologist were not a member of APA? Why or why not?
• What multicultural/diversity issues would one need to consider if the inmate in the vignette were a homosexual, African-American male who was raised in an adoptive, single-parent household? What ethical and multicultural issues would a professional need to consider in conducting an evaluation of an individual with this background?
