many unscrupulous people try and in some cases manage to achieve their

improper acts[ CITATION Anosf \l 9226 ].

The fundamental functionality of the code of ethics is to protect both the image
from psychology as to the patient; there is something called confidentiality
between psychologist and patient, and it is a fundamental part of the ethical code and thus able to
avoid negligence, deceit, abuses, and other circumstances that may generate
a harm to the person who visits the psychologist as a patient.

The ethical code has objectives such as regulating the practice of the profession while respecting...

professional solidarity, as well as the promotion of a responsible attitude and
committed to the human being.

Ethics in psychology not only rescues and protects the rights of the patient; but also
which also stipulates the obligations and rights of the psychologist; such as their right
to independently exercise their work, as well as the right and obligation to
renew their professional training and be able to research in their field of work. The
ethics changes in the same way that society and the environment do

we can say that the ethical code, in some way, is a protection that
the psychologist has to carry out his profession.

The first chapter of the Ethical Code of the Psychologist talks to us about the
general responsibilities that the professional must fulfill as principles of
responsibility, confidentiality, competence, veracity, humanist leaving behind
one side of any type of discrimination; the psychologist must also act with
objectivity promoting respect at all times[ CITATION Bru07 l 9226 ].
