Code of ethics
The set of rules binding on a therapist — from confidentiality to the prohibition on exploiting the relationship.
What it covers
Protecting confidentiality, informed consent, respect for dignity and non-discrimination, clear boundaries in the relationship, a prohibition on dual relationships and sexual contact, and the duty to work within the limits of your competence.
What this means for you
If you believe a therapist has acted against these principles, you can make a complaint to the ethics committee of the professional association. That applies to me too.
