What is a consequence of the Pennsylvania State Board's action against unethical conduct?

The suspension of a psychologist's license is a direct consequence of the Pennsylvania State Board's actions against unethical conduct. When a psychologist is found to have violated ethical guidelines or professional standards, the Board has the authority to impose disciplinary measures, which can include suspension or revocation of their license to practice. This serves several purposes: it protects the public from potentially harmful practices, upholds the integrity of the profession, and reinforces the importance of ethics within the field of psychology.

Suspending a license is a significant action that indicates the severity of the unethical conduct, and it typically follows a thorough investigation and due process to ensure that the psychologist's rights are respected. Other options, while they may relate to broader strategies or measures within the field, do not directly represent an immediate consequence of the Board’s disciplinary action in response to unethical conduct.
