A psychologist in a correctional reentry program suspects an adult client is abusing a dependent elder at home, but the client denies it. APA Ethical Principles of Psychologists and Code of Conduct (APA, 2017) Standard 4.01 defines confidentiality, and Standard 4.05 allows disclosures mandated by law. State law requires reporting suspected elder abuse based on reasonable suspicion. The elder is not the psychologist's client; the client fears parole consequences; the agency wants risk reduction; and adult protective services expects reporting. Reporting may protect the elder but could derail reentry support; not reporting may allow harm and create legal liability. What are potential consequences of failing to resolve conflicts between ethics codes and laws?
