CODE
OF ETHICAL AND
PROFESSIONAL
STANDARDS |
As
a multidisciplinary
group of professionals, the American
Academy of Experts in Traumatic
Stress has established
a Code of Ethical & Professional
Standards for practice across disciplines.
All Members must adhere to the code.
As
a Member of the American
Academy of Experts in Traumatic
Stress , I pledge:
- To be committed
to the advancement of intervention
for survivors of trauma.
- To maintain
the highest standards of competence
and professional practice in
my work with trauma victims.
- To provide
only those services for which
I am qualified by virtue of
my knowledge, experience and
education.
- To maintain
my knowledge of the research
literature directly related
to the services I render.
- To respect
the rights of individuals to
privacy and confidentiality.
- To never misrepresent
my credentials, education or
membership status.
- To refrain
from conduct that would be adverse
to the interest and purpose
of the Academy.
- To work toward
increasing awareness of traumatic
stress and improving treatment
for survivors.
The
Academy is multidisciplinary and
facilitates different professions
coming together under one umbrella.
I think that's a great virtue. The
cross-pollination that comes from
that kid of interaction can only
begin to generate a deeper understanding
of the phenomemon of traumatic stress
as it affects victims and survivors
of trauma ... the Academy, with
its diverse and international membership,
provides a forum for education,
training, publication and consultation.
