ABSTRACT

The psychologist believes in the dignity and worth of the individual human being. He is committed to increasing man's understanding of himself and others. While pursuing this endeavour, he protects the welfare of any person who may seek his service or of any subject, human or animal, that may be the object of his study. The maintenance of high standards of professional competence is a responsibility shared by all psychologists, in the interest of the public and of the profession as a whole. The psychologist in the practice of his profession shows sensible regard for the social codes and moral expectations of the community in which he works. He respects the integrity and protects the welfare of the person or group with whom he is working. The psychologist informs his prospective client of the important aspects of the potential relationship that might affect the client's decision to enter the relationship.
