Ethical considerations for psychologists screening applicants for the priesthood in the catholic church: Implications of the vatican instruction on homosexuality
Ethics and Behavior 17 (2):131 – 136 (2007)
| Abstract | The release of the Vatican instruction on homosexuality in the priesthood and Catholic seminaries poses several challenging ethical issues for the psychologists who conduct psychological screening evaluations for those men interested in religious life as Catholic priests. This brief article reviews some of the key ethical issues associated with these evaluations in light of the new Vatican instruction on homosexuality. The RRICC model based on the American Psychological Association's Code of Ethics (i.e., responsibility, respect, integrity, competence, and concern) is used to highlight some of the ethical challenges for psychologist evaluators. | |||||||||
