#IMPACT CLIENT 1.10 CODE#

Marriage and family therapists avoid actions that cause harm and recognize that their clients/patients control their own life choices. Marriage and family therapists act with integrity and truthfulness, ensure fairness and non-discrimination, and promote the well-being of their clients/patients within the larger society.

Marriage and family therapists 2 recognize that ethical decision-making principles may be based on higher standards for their conduct than legal requirements and that they must comply with the higher standard. The titles to the various sections of these standards are not considered a part of the actual standard. While the specific wording of these standards is important, the spirit and intent of the principles should be taken into consideration by those utilizing or interpreting this code. The absence of a specific prohibition against a particular kind of conduct does not mean that such conduct is either ethical or unethical. We recognize that the development of standards is an ongoing process, and that every conceivable situation that may occur cannot be expressly covered by any set of standards. Ethical behavior must satisfy not only the judgment of the individual marriage and family therapist, but also the judgment of one’s peers, based upon a set of recognized norms.
