Abstract
The present chapter builds on the work of Kitchener and Kitchener (2012) on ethical foundations in psychology, as described in Chap. 22 of the present book. They had developed a model of ethical decision-making (see Fig. 22.1) and presented their model of the development of reflective thought. However, they did not link the two very clearly. For example, can the critical evaluative steps in ethical decision-making map onto the steps in the growth of reflective thought?
