Accountability to Psychotherapist Ethical Guidelines 

The ACPE Professional Ethics Commission is currently reviewing the ACPE Code of Ethics and considering revisions that might better encompass the counseling and mental health professions.  In the meantime, we ask new Psychotherapist and Practitioner members to agree to adhere to the following (in addition to the ACPE Code of Ethics): 

  1. To maintain conduct consistent with the Psychotherapist Ethical Guidelines.
  2. If licensed, to abide by all relevant licensing requirements in one's state. 
  3. If ordained by a faith body that endorses, to maintain good standing with one's endorsing community. 

 

Can you certify that the above statements are true of you?

 

ACPE Accountability for Ethical Conduct

We ask all ACPE members to certify the following on an annual basis:

  1. No discipline or corrective action arising from a complaint of unethical or felonious conduct has been imposed on me, and no complaint against me for unethical or felonious conduct is pending in a civil, criminal, ecclesiastical, employment, or another professional organization's forum.
  2. I have never resigned, been transferred or terminated, nor negotiated a settlement from a position for reasons related to unethical or felonious conduct.
