Psychological code of ethics.

For the past couple months I have been writing about my journey through the art of psychology in the context of a child's mind.  Today I will be sharing with my readers the foundation of a good psychologists and effective work.  If our therapists have no guidelines to show their client's improvements then they are navigating blindfolded.  That is why when I ran across the British Psychological Society's Code of Ethics and Conduct, I was extremely pleased.  These Ethics of Psychology so to speak have four very important principles that mirror what clients are looking for and therapists want to provide.  In this text Cullen states, " Advice from a friend or relative is unlikely to offer this range of safeguards" (Cullen, 23).  She brings up a very well thought out point, that everyone could benefit from some amount of time with a psychologist, not only children, because we cannot always rely on those around us to be unbiased.  The four main principles are the following, Respect, Competence, Integrity, Responsibility.  We, as clients, want our therapists to treat us with respect, and to offer a competent amount of high level advice.  They, as therapists, in turn want to offer Integrity in everything they say and act responsible during their sessions. These four simple yet complex guidelines allow us to feel safe with our therapists and visa versus. 

My question is this:  Do you believe these conducts are agreeable or should there be another/ one less? 

Above is a video of myself roleplaying as the therapist exercising these four different principles.
