[meteor_slideshow slideshow=”hp2″]

Many psychological associations have established ethical codes or principles for the practice of psychology in the countries or regions they serve. The codes typically include references to dignity and human rights, education and training, privacy and confidentiality, and licensing. Some countries and regions do not abide by any ethical codes. As psychologists expand their global practice, many associations have expressed a need for a universal code of ethics that is applicable internationally. They argue that a universal code would ensure uniformity as psychologists work throughout the world. Web site links from a variety of professional associations and societies provide codes of ethics from around the world as well as a proposed universal code of ethics.
