Background: The authors emphasize the importance of regular questioning of ethical dilemmas in psychotherapy, because of the special status of psychological treatment as a potentially hazardous field in practice, and because of substantial relationship between client and therapist with a thin border and potential use of power or abuse. Although professional codes indicate guidance on highest possible standards of function, they do not always give clear answers; hence, clinicians must be able to critically weigh up and understand these codes in relation to everyday practice.
Conclusions : Ethical question is an important part of psychotherapeutic practice. There exist many dilemmas in these issues which must be reflected by ethical therapists and many of them are in connection with self-reflection and supervision.
