Permission refers to the act of obtaining consent or authorization from someone before engaging in a certain action or behavior. In psychology, it is important for psychologists to have explicit permission from individuals before using any techniques or interventions.
This term refers to the ethical principle that psychologists must keep the information shared by clients private and not disclose it without their explicit consent.
Informed consent involves providing individuals with all relevant information about treatment procedures, potential risks, benefits, and alternatives so that they can make an informed decision about participating in psychological research or therapy.
Ethical guidelines are established standards that provide psychologists with a framework for conducting their work responsibly and ethically. These guidelines help ensure the well-being and rights of clients are protected.
