197. The Delphi Trial and the Challenges of Digital Ethics in Psychology

Written By Alienist Entertainment

This week we explore a rarely mentioned subject in Psychology- Are you allowed to research your clients and to what extreme is acceptable? We cover the ethical considerations in a day and age of Telehealth, social media, and DMs. We also consider these questions in the case of high-profile clients, using the Delphi murder trial as inspiration for our discussion.
