The European Meta-code of Ethics, developed by the European Federation of Psychologists' Associations, serves as the basis for national codes and thereby for the standards applying to all psychologists practicing in Europe. Here a team of expert practitioners analyzes the meta-code and applies practical examples from core concepts to applications in real life. They cover the underlying principles behind, the specific content of the code itself, and core values including respect, competence, responsibility, integrity, and solving and also explain mediation, arbitration, corrective action and disciplinary sanction. A very interesting conclusion predicts ethical challenges that will likely surface in the future, not all of which are instigated by technology or expansion of social justice. Includes the code and recommendations of the course to follow in cases of complaints of inappropriate or unethical practice or behavior.
