With that in mind, decision-making models are presented that can be used in one’s practice when confronted with an ethical-legal dilemma. Following that, ten specific ethical standards and guidelines are addressed with a discussion of how each applies to forensic psychology and forensic psychologists. There is then a discussion around access to records and responding to subpoenas.
