Keywords:
Psychology, ethics, rights, Latin AmericaAbstract
The practice of psychology, either as a scientific discipline or as a public service, is based on two main foundations: the first is composed of a set of knowledge and skills that have been acquired through psychological research and practice; the second is made up of the ethics applied in the development of that set of knowledge and skills, and the actions carried out when these are applied to respond to the demands for the provision of services to users. (General Council of Colleges of Psychologists of Spain, 2009). The duties and rights of the psychologist profession are not only built from professional independence and autonomy, but they are also governed by deontological principles that are: respect for human rights and dignity of people, scientific professional commitment, competence, responsibility social and integrity, which are oriented to the establishment of rules on professional conduct, in the face of specific situations. (Colleges of Psychologists of the Province of Chubut, 2001). Emphasis is placed on various areas such as their image, penalties, professional intervention from different facets, such as: research, education, promotion, prevention, and psychological care. This reflects the diversity of criteria regarding the actions of the psychologist in each country and their position in the face of ethical dilemmas.
