 The APA Code of Ethics Principles The core values outlined in the APA's Code of Ethics The practice of psychology requires all psychologists to comply with a set of standards and principles. These standards have been established to protect the health, safety, and general well-being of both our customers and our fellow employees. The following is a rundown of the five guiding principles that every health professional ought to be mindful of: Beneficence and nonmaleficence comprise Principle A . Principle A can be broken down into two parts: beneficence and nonmaleficence.

Psychologists are committed to safeguarding the rights and well-being of other people who have been negatively affected by a given situation, in addition to the individuals with whom they come into working relationships.
