Category: Ethics in therapy

Psychotherapy is not only a set of techniques, but also a deeply ethical practice. In this section you will find reflections on the responsibility involved in accompanying another person through a therapeutic process and on the principles that support a respectful and careful clinical relationship.

The articles address topics such as the therapeutic framework, boundaries in the professional relationship, confidentiality, patient autonomy, and the role of the therapist within the process. They also explore important questions about contemporary psychological practice: how to avoid paternalism, how to sustain an authentic therapeutic presence, and how to care for the therapeutic space as a place of human encounter.

These reflections are intended both for people interested in better understanding what happens in psychotherapy and for professionals and students in the field of mental health who wish to reflect on clinical practice from an ethical and responsible perspective.
