Scientific studies on grief and loss have proliferated over the past several decades as research on bereavement is increasingly accepted as a "legitimate" area of inquiry. This research has been guided by a diverse and scholarly literature on professional ethics in psychology that has also grown over the years. This literature has assisted investigators in interpreting and applying the general guidelines provided in the American Psychological Association's code of ethics (Thompson & Fata, 1997).Publications on ethical issues related to bereavement research in particular have been limited but are increasingly needed as researchers expand their investigations to broader populations and more sensitive areas of study. In 1995 a special issue of Death Studies was published in which several authors explored the unique ethical questions and dilemmas that bereavement researchers face (Balk & Cook, 1995). Included in this special issue was a list of ethical guidelines developed by Parkes (1995) specificallyThe author wishes to thank Dr. Kevin A. Oltjenbmns for her valuable input during the preparation of this chapter.
