In a world full of rapid change and subtle challenges, the helping professions of psychotherapy and social work are called upon to respond with sensitivity, competence and discernment. This book was born from the desire to offer an ethical anchor to practitioners, but also a living, adaptable guide, intended to support critical reflection and cultivate professional excellence. This work invites you to an inner and professional journey, in which each chapter opens a window to the dilemmas, values and hopes that define our mission.
Chapter 1. Ethics in Psychotherapeutic Practice – proposes the exploration of the fundamental principles in psychotherapy: beneficence, nonmaleficence, fidelity, autonomy and justice and emphasizes the need for deep ethical reflection, beyond simple codes of conduct, discussing in a pragmatic way the limitations and responsibilities related to professional self-care.
Chapter 2. Informed Consent in Clinical Practice – presents informed consent not only as a legal obligation, but as a bridge to responsible sharing of therapeutic decisions. The chapter delves into the subtleties of the empathic and collaborative information process, with an emphasis on respecting the client’s autonomy and reducing the risks of adverse effects (the nocebo effect).
Chapter 3. Therapeutic Ethics in Working with Children and Adolescents – highlights the importance of adapting the ethical code to the specifics of child and adolescent development, emphasizing the priorities of protection, transparency, and building the therapeutic relationship in the context of family involvement.
Chapter 4. Ethical issues in psychotherapy associated with research and artificial intelligence – develops the challenges inherent in technological innovations are analyzed with lucidity: from the impact of artificial intelligence on confidentiality and the therapeutic relationship, to the dilemmas regarding the use of data and the manipulation of information for therapeutic purposes.
Chapter 5. Ethics of integrating spirituality into psychotherapy and social work – brings spirituality as a resource of meaning for clients, and its ethical integration into therapy and social work requires respecting autonomy, avoiding proselytism and supporting the authenticity of the therapeutic process.
Chapter 6. Ethical practice in social work analyzes the fundamental principles in social work: dignity, social justice, professional integrity and collective responsibility. The central role of trusting relationships in organizational environments and the importance of a culture of mutual support are highlighted.
Chapter 7. The emotional and ethical challenges of social workers in the context of contemporary practice brings into discussion the emotional vulnerabilities of professionals, emphasizing the imperative of self-knowledge, the practice of self-compassion and the clear demarcation between professional and personal life.
The book is an invitation to mature reflection and deep commitment to our humanistic mission as psychotherapists, social workers, as equal partners of the clients and beneficiaries with whom we work. Each chapter is designed not only as a body of knowledge, but as a space for inner dialogue, intended to support the development of a living ethics, anchored in the realities and complexities of daily practice.
We invite you, therefore, to take this journey with an open mind, an attentive heart and the willingness to enrich and transform your professional practice in the spirit of goodness and respect for the human being.
