abstract = {There has been unprecedented interest in sport-related concussions from many and varied sources including media, sports leagues, players’ unions, lawyers, legislators, scientists, clinicians, parents, coaches, and the athletes themselves. This interest has been fueled by epidemiologic data which indicate that concussions frequently occur at all ages, at all levels of play, and across a broad range of sports. The ubiquitous nature of the injury has also been coupled with concerns about whether and what type of relationships may exist between sports-related brain injury and the development of later neurodegenerative disease processes. The development of Sports Neuropsychology has largely paralleled the interest in sports concussions, making it a young and rapidly growing area of clinical and research interest. The youth of sports neuropsychology coupled with a focus on a poorly defined injury while being subject to unprecedented media, public, legislative, and legal scrutiny presents unique and important challenges to the ethical practice of sports neuropsychology. This paper explores these challenges by reviewing the brief history of sports neuropsychology, providing a basic review of the APA Code of Ethics, and discussing key ethical constructs such as beneficence, non-maleficence, and autonomy. The role of ethnic/racial cultural considerations in sports neuropsychology is discussed as well as ethical questions related to test use and development, the various roles that sports neuropsychologists play in sports medicine, and several illustrations of the challenges faced by sports neuropsychologists related to confidentiality, competence, role definition, and role boundaries. Although this article does not provide simple answers to complex questions, it does highlight areas in need of thoughtful discourse for clinicians engaged in the dynamic and evolving nature of ethical sports neuropsychology practice. © 2015, Springer Science+Business Media New York.},

abstract = {There are many ethical dilemmas that are unique to sports medicine because of the unusual clinical environment of caring for players within the context of a team whose primary objective is to win. Many of these ethical issues arise because the traditional relationship between doctor and patient is distorted or absent. The emergence of a doctor-patient-team triad has created a scenario in which the team's priority can conflict with or even replace the doctor's primary obligation to player well-being. As a result, the customary ethical norms that provide guidelines for most forms of clinical practice, such as patient autonomy and confidentiality, are not easily translated in the field of sports medicine. Sports doctors are frequently under intense pressure, whether implicit or explicit, from management, coaches, trainers and agents, to improve performance of the athlete in the short term rather than considering the long-term sequelae of such decisions. A myriad of ethical dilemmas are encountered, and for many of these dilemmas there are no right answers. In this article, a number of ethical principles and how they relate to sports medicine are discussed. To conclude, a list of guidelines has been drawn up to offer some support to doctors facing an ethical quandary, the most important of which is 'do not abdicate your responsibility to the individual player.''I am in blood Stepp'd in so far that, should I wade no more, Returning would be as tedious as to go o'er' -Macbeth: Act III, Scene IV, William Shakespeare.},
