This intermediate workshop targets skill building in ethics and cultural competence. Presenters provide information on the Society of Indian Psychologists’ (SIP) commentary on the APA Ethics Code that addresses how the Ethics Code does—and does not—fit indigenous psychologists’ and Natives’ lifeways and thoughtways. The workshop focuses on an engaging process of uncovering culture in ethics codes through vignettes and using this knowledge to increase ethical research and service provision with diverse populations. The workshop concludes with a review of the main findings of the SIP commentary and how these findings parallel the workshop processes.  Original webcast date: August 4, 2020.

Learning Objectives

1. Explain how the APA Ethics Code is embedded within a specific culture and not necessarily rooted in universal ethical principles.
