THE ISIP POSITION ON ETHICS
Adler believed that teaching his psychology to a wide audience would increase the mental health of the general population, and that is a good thing. However, Adler and ISIP recognize that knowledge should not be confused with competence. Each person attending the ISIP workshops and the conference need to be reminded that the practice of psychotherapy in any profession is governed by the ethics and standards established by the profession. It is imperative that each person attending is required to apply the Adlerian tools within the scope of practice established by the person’s profession. ISIP is concerned about how the tools are applied. The utility of Adlerian Psychology makes it tempting for trainees to use them even if that trainee’s profession would not normally recognize the person’s competence.
As far as the ethics training provided at our annual conference, ISIP does not
believe the ethics presentations should be profession-specific since
most of us have to be sensitive two or three different Codes anyway. The
differences are fairly small and usually apply to a limited number of issues
or work settings. Since ISIP is committed to promoting Adlerian theory and
practice, it only makes sense for our conference to offer training that is
Independent from any specific profession. Our goal is to promote ethical
practice, regardless of one's profession or licensing. Therefore, it only
requires that we present material that is more universally applicable
