ETHICAL COMMUNICATION IN PSYCHOLOGY

Аннотация

Ethical communication forms the foundational bedrock of psychological research, clinical practice, and academic discourse. This thesis explores the core dimensions of ethical communication within contemporary psychology, emphasizing confidentiality, informed consent, and the evolving challenges presented by digital media and telepsychology. By synthesizing established ethical frameworks from major psychological associations, this paper analyzes how communication parameters affect therapeutic alliances and public trust. The methodology employs a systematic literature review of international ethical guidelines and empirical studies published over the last decade. The results indicate that while core principles remain robust, the rise of digital communication has introduced significant ambiguities regarding boundary maintenance and data security. The discussion provides strategic recommendations for integrated communication protocols, ensuring that psychologists navigate digital transitions without compromising patient welfare or research integrity.
