The Luxembourgish Psychological Society (SLP) adopted a Code of Ethics in 2001 whose objective is to provide guidance in professional practice and to resolve ethical issues as well as possible conflicts encountered by psychologists in their practice (diagnosis, advice, psychotherapy, research, supervision etc.).

Membership in the SLP implies a commitment to ethical values and respect for the Professional Code of Conduct.

SLP DEONTOLOGY CODE

The SLP Code of Ethics aims to protect the well-being and protection of people who interact with psychologists, the promotion of ethics and the guarantee of high quality psychological services. In its structure and content it is inspired by the principles of the Charter of the European Federation of Psychologists Associations (EFPA).

ADVISORY COMMISSION OF DEONTOLOGY (CCD)

The SLP provides advice and support on ethical issues and rules on malpractice complaints against its members. In 2006, the Advisory Commission on Ethics (CCD) was established to regularly evaluate the Code of Conduct and to advise on its application and interpretation in a given context.
