Psychology has been regulated and controlled by various laws and laws around the world, as its application is an area of practice that can pose many ethical problems.

Because psychologists can influence the mental health of patients, they have a certain power that needs to be controlled. Therefore, the laws of deontological ethics, as in Spain, become very important. Other countries also have similar laws, such as the American Psychological Association's “ethical principles of psychologists” and the “United States Code of Professional Ethics.”

When you start practicing, there are a number of rules that you have to follow.In Spain, for example, the psychological community has created the law of deontological psychologists to regulate the legal aspects of the practice of psychology.

In general, the code of Conduct sets out a set of ethical principles that reflect the shared ideals or aspirations of a particular profession. Therefore, this code of conduct is a set of general principles that psychologists share. They define the common and fundamental values that psychologists need to regulate all the work they do with their patients.

The Code of ethics of the Turkish Association of psychologists contains articles that set out the principles that define the profession. These are respect for the client, protection of human rights, a sense of responsibility of the psychologist, honesty and sincerity with the client.

The Professional Health Regulation Act does not include general psychology as a health profession. As a result, the regulation covers only clinical psychology specialists. This means that a large number of psychologists around the world are in a legally uncertain state. Efforts are being made to solve this problem in various countries. In Spain, a clause was added to the General Law on Public Health, which created the title of General Health Psychologist in 2011.

In this way, when you complete a master's degree program that gives you the title of General Health Psychologist, you can have access to clinical psychology in the private sector. In Turkey, although the Turkish psychological associations, which have created the law on Mental Health and Psychology in the past years, have submitted this law to Parliament, they have not yet received any results.
