Ethics

The SLP adopted in 2001 a Code of Ethics whose objective is to provide guidance in professional practice and to resolve ethical issues.

The SLP Code of Ethics guarantees the well-being and protection of people who interact with psychologists, promotes ethical behavior and high quality psychological services.

It is inspired in its structure and content by the principles of the Charter of the European Federation of Psychologists Associations (EFPA).

Every member of the SLP pledges to conduct in accordance with the Code of Ethics.
