CODE OF ETHICS (PSICOÉTICA) AND ETHICS

1. Background:
A Code is a set of rules or precepts written and arranged, which refer to a specific topic.
Ethics applied to a profession or professional ethics, is the part of philosophy which reflects on the correction of acts performed in the exercise of the activity for which they have been enabled, subjects of a given science. The purpose of the Ethics is morality, this is the nature of goodness or badness of human acts.
The Ethics, we believe, is the ethic of duty and behaviors that are bound to respect in their relationship, the subject of a certain social activity.
The Code then deals with issues pertaining to the professional performance of psychiatrists about their patients (Ethics), and the relationship or link between professionals (Ethics).
was in fact a sum of principles to be taken into account when considering the professional conduct regarding a patient, or in its relationship with colleagues.
The existence of a Code of Professional Ethics does not make the most virtuous moral values \u200b\u200bare in each of the subjects and will not be shown, secured or determined by any particular code.
Ethics and Codes of Ethics must not become instruments to determine penalties, because it would institute manuals then decide what should or should not be done, along with the appropriate penalty, facts already covered by specific codes regulate society: Civil, Commercial and Criminal Law. Therefore, thinking in disciplinary proceedings or sanctions applied to ethical principles, transform the Codes of Ethics in legal rules, which is not their primary objective.
not be incurred in the mistake of believing that manuals should be considered or processed in the field.
be accepted as dogma that ethics is built day by day, case by case, so should not fall into the trap of generalizing their definitions.
Codes sought to bring confidence to the people who potentially can demand attention, which they interpret their existence ensures among other qualities, competence, accountability, reliability and professional loyalty. For
the professional codes of ethics and deontology can alert them about the moral aspects of their work that may have overlooked or simply ignored. It is also a security, for regulating the conduct of members of a profession excluding those who do not belong to it, protecting them from external maneuvers.
Ethics Codes prescribe what is basically a professional must meet regarding the morality of their actions, the limitation of the text does not excuse to behave the best you can.
