Legal and Ethical Considerations

• Beneficence and Nonmaleficence: Psychologists should seek to benefit

  individuals with whom they work and avoid causing harm. They should also aim to protect the well-being and rights of individuals with whom they contact professionally.
• Fidelity and Responsibility: Psychologists should establish trusted

  relationships with the people they work with and understand their professional responsibilities. They should also follow professional standards of conduct and take responsibility for their actions.
• Integrity: Psychologists must maintain honesty, fairness, and courtesy in their professional relationships. They should also be aware of their own prejudices and limitations, and avoid imposing their beliefs on others.
• Justice: Psychologists should strive for fairness and justice in their professional practices, treating everyone with dignity and without discrimination. They should also recognize and resolve any potential biases in their work.
