School psychologists also do not engage in exploitation of “clients, supervisees, or graduate students through professional relationships or condone these actions by their colleagues. They do not participate in or condone sexual harassment of children, parents, other clients, colleagues, employees, trainees, supervisees, or research participants” (NASP Standard III.4.3). Furthermore, they “do not engage in sexual relationships with individuals over whom they have evaluation authority” or “with their current or former pupil-clients; the parents, siblings, or other close family members of current pupil-clients; or current consultees.” And, “because they have an obligation to consider the well-being of all family members and to safeguard trust in psychologists, school psychologists are cautious about entering into sexual relationships with parents, siblings, or other close family members of the former client after the conclusion of the professional relationship” (NASP Standard III.4.4).

Consistent with the general principle of honesty and integrity, psychologists also do not take credit for work that is not their own (APA Principle C). “When publishing or presenting research or other work, school psychologists do not plagiarize the works or ideas of others” (NASP Standard IV.5.8). Furthermore, they take credit “only for work they have actually performed or to which they have contributed” (APA 8.12; also NASP Standard IV.5.9).
