RESUMO
At one time or another, we all have encountered cases with serious ethical and legal implications. How can we know that we have thoroughly explored every facet of these dilemmas? The authors present a 7-category matrix of the following considerations: moral principles and personal values, clinical and cultural considerations, ethics codes, agency or employer policies, statues, rules and regulations, and case law. Two clinical examples illustrate the usefulness of this multidimensional framework for professional psychologists. Implications and applications for practitioners and ethics educators are also discussed.

This self-report questionnaire study revealed that adult children of alcoholics (ACAs, n = 49) were significantly different from adult children from normal families (ACNs, (n = 55) on five of nine Bell Object Relations Reality Testing Inventory (BORRTI; Bell, 1988) scales and from adult children from dysfunctional families (ACDs, n = 48) on the Reality Testing summary score. Both ACAs and ACDs were similar to each other and different from ACNs on Insecure Attachment and on two family background ratings- perceived quality of paternal and maternal caregiving. Discussion of these results plus separate exploratory regression analyses followed.
