A practical psychologist is responsible for ensuring that his service (consultation, diagnosis, correctional session) is provided with high quality, and this is possible only if ethical norms and rules are observed. Unfortunately, no law has yet been adopted on the territory of the Russian Federation that would regulate the activities of psychologists.
I would like to talk about the ethics of a psychologist in the format of online counseling. In the modern world, we are increasingly going online. And psychology is no exception. Thanks to the Internet, residents of even the most remote villages can get help from a psychologist. There are not only video consultations, but also audio and even text consultations. But the requirements for ethical standards should remain the same as when working offline.
1. The psychologist must ensure the confidentiality of the consultation, think about "safety". If there is a video consultation, then the psychologist should be in a separate closed room and wearing headphones, so that the client can calmly tell his problems without fear that someone will hear. If we are talking about audio or text format, then the psychologist must password-protect his phone and access to software applications.
2. The psychologist must have his own supervisor and contact him to work through the situation, if necessary.
3. If the specialist sees that he cannot help with the client's problem for any reason, he carefully and delicately finishes the therapy, taking care of the psychological well-being of the client.
4. The psychologist is obliged in his work to rely on moral principles:
- do no harm
- do not hang labels
- accept the client as he is
- keep your professional confidentiality
- indisputable priority of the client's interests
5. Another important criterion for the ethical activity of a psychologist is the moral level. The criteria for the development of the morality of the personality of a specialist are:
- having your own point of view
- formed ideological position
- tolerance for a different opinion
- acceptance of the right to a different point of view.
Diagnostics and correctional classes with children are a separate format. Nowadays, many educational psychologists have also gone online. Here you need to understand that the quality of services is falling. And the psychologist bears moral and ethical responsibility for his work. In my opinion, ethical problems now arise in the work of an online psychologist. And this must be dealt with.

Professional Ethics
The result of psychoanalytic therapy is persistent and stable changes. In order for psychological therapy to be successful and change to occur, a sense of security is necessary for, in general, to be able to change. Safe space does not arise by itself, it is formed by the therapist, the patient himself, the rules in therapy and professional ethics.
Professional Ethics Part Two
In the second part of the article on professional ethics, I would like to focus on the professional competence of a psychoanalyst (or psychoanalytically oriented therapist), since this is probably one of the most important points for a specialist in his work.
Ethics Of Psychoanalysis
Ethics of the good in the market of psychological services Today's community of “helping professions” is very concerned with the issue of ethics. It sounds like the most humane, responsible, and experienced professionals are ringing alarm bells, urging the public to pay attention to a particularly dangerous situation.
Spiritual Work Is Also Work! Mental Laziness Is An Obstacle To Self-development

Work Vs Husband Or Work + Husband
I love work, but why? And why does my husband not love my job? Whom / what should I love? - Sometimes we mix both cutlets and flies in an attempt to find the right way out of the conflict, internal or external. And the first step towards the exit is separation, and giving each of his own place.
