psychology


1)Clinicians have the ethical obligation to assist their client in identifying the source of a memory and determining the validity of the memory. Ethically a clinician has to be aware that he or she can influence their clients thoughts and actions. The general principle in the Ethical principles of psychology states:
“Because psychologists’ scientific and professional judgments and actions may affect the lives of others, they are alert to and guard against personal, financial, social, organizational or political factors that might lead to misuse of their influence”
