Laws and Ethics

Ethics in Psychology

This clarifies how psychology’s professional ethics codes primarily serve the interests of professional psychologists / demonstrates how power and control in professional interactions are held primarily by the psychologist / similarly, decision making processes concerning ethics are governed by professional bodies with little input from the public / the moral dimension of ethics codes is based largely on individual ethics: the codes regulate the micro-ethics of the therapeutic relationship but neglect social ethical issues such as oppression, discrimination, and inequality / since the codes generally assume that harm derives from the aberrant behavior of a few unscrupulous psychologists, they conveniently exclude more subtle violations such as the perpetuation of power inequalities and the deleterious effects of labeling / challenges the notion of science as the ultimate good, denounces legitimized power inequalities, and decries ethics codes that adopt lowest common denominator values.
