Professional Ethics and Insignia
Professional Ethics and Insignia, 2nd Edition
Edited by John P. Stierman, Kathleen E. Joswick, Jeanne Koekkoek Stierman, and Roderick L. Sharpe.
Published by Scarecrow, 2000.
This is a 9" by 11" clothbound book running to 445 pages including an index of professions, plus a foreword and a preface.
The book presents the codes of ethics of 222 professional organizations. The compilers followed a broad definition of "profession," but were unable to include a significant number of ethical codes for professional associations that did not respond to their inquiries or grant them permission, so the list is just slightly odd.
It is interesting to see these codes of ethics compiled in a book this way, since each code was created by a specific professional with that group as its audience, and the audience of the book is a different group, a group of students, consumers, and citizens who may be interested in working on an ethical code for another purpose, considering professional ethics generally, or monitoring the behavior of a professional group in terms of its own ethical code.
Among the professional groups included are:
- Air Traffic Control Association
- American Arbitration Association
- American Bed and Breakfast Association
- American Library Association
- American Nuclear Society
- American Psychiatric Association
- American Society of Newspaper Editors
- Association of Management Consulting Firms
- Botanical Society of America
- The Direct Marketing Association
- Genetics Society of America
- International Association of Chiefs of Police
- Music Teachers National Association
- National Guild of Hypnotists
- National Property Management Association
- Public Relations Society of America
This is a potentially very useful reference book.
