APA handbook of ethics in psychology
The general structure of this handbook parallels other handbooks in the new APA Handbooks in Psychology series. It is intended for practitioners, researchers, academic psychologists, and graduate students who seek a comprehensive review of a particular area of psychology. In comparison with many ethics textbooks, it covers a wider range of subjects and pursues them in greater detail. This handbook also reflects recent advances in research and technology that present new opportunities and challenges for practice and scholarship. Psychology is expanding into new areas, such as life coaching and providing services over the Internet. These are just two examples of developments that present novel ethical questions that deserve our attention, and we have attempted to give them and other developing challenges the attention they deserve. Several perspectives guided the development of this handbook.

Consequently, the chapters go beyond reciting a list of prohibitions and warnings to help readers consider practices in light of foundational moral perspectives. Second, we wanted authors to consider research relevant to their subject
