I am sure you have heard that physicians follow the principle of “Do No Harm.” All psychologists (not only clinicians) and counselors should follow these and other similar principles. In the following assignment, you are going to evaluate and detail how the different ethical guidelines from the APA apply to your internship. You will need to use the APA ethical guidelines (Link (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.). You will then describe in detail how the different principles of the document apply to your internship.
