SynopsisAt the turn of the century, the American photographer Edward Sheriff Curtis (1868?1952) started on his thirty-year project to produce a monumental study of North American Indians. Using an approach that was both artistically and scientifically ambitious he recorded, in words and pictures, the traces of the traditional Indian way of life that was already beginning to die out. With tireless personal commitment Curtis visited American Indian tribes from the Mexican border to the Bering Straits, gaining their confidence by his patience and sensitivity. This, his photographic life's work, was printed in 20 volumes between 1907 and 1930 as The North American Indian. There were only 272 copies in total, so original copies are now extremely rare. This book gives lasting life to Curtis's great achievements by making the photographs available again., Ethical behavior requires much more than avoiding action by a disciplinary body. For psychologists, behaving ethically is a positive goal that involves striving to reach ones highest ethical ideals. Guided by the American Psychological Association's "Ethical Principles of Psychologists and Code of Conduct," amended in 2010, Knapp and VandeCreek provide short sketches illustrating the standards that psychologists must follow. In addition, they emphasize how psychologists can actualize their personal values and ethical acumen in their daily work. Psychologists are shown a variety of ways to reach this goal: by attending to their emotional well-being, by using the five-step decision-making model presented in this book, by using risk-reduction strategies in difficult cases, and by basing their professional conduct on overarching ethical values.
