The APA Code of Ethics and the AMHCA Code of Ethics both emphasize the importance of respect for individuals, confidentiality, and the need for informed consent. However, the APA Code is broader, addressing a wide range of psychological practices and research, while the AMHCA Code focuses specifically on mental health counselors. Both codes advocate for the welfare of clients and the importance of professional integrity, but the AMHCA Code includes specific guidelines tailored to counseling practices and settings. Overall, while they share core ethical principles, their application and focus differ based on the professional context.
