The newly revised American Psychological Association (APA, 2002) Ethics Code provides a set of standards that are broad enough to be applicable to the wide range of ethical challenges that psychologists may encounter in the rapidly growing field of Internet-mediated psychological services. This article illustrates the applicability of the APA Ethics Code to psychological assessment and therapy provided via the Internet within 6 broad categories of ethical conduct: competence, conflicts of interest, informed consent, privacy and confidentiality, public statements and advertising, and test selection and scoring. Discussion includes how these requirements may be met, implications of the new Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act regulations to the ethical conduct of telehealth, and future directions for ethical consideration.
