When a Psychologist Stops Being a Psychologist
A degree, a title, or a professional position does not automatically guarantee ethical behavior.
A true psychologist uses knowledge to help people think more clearly, communicate more honestly, and understand themselves more deeply.
Someone who manipulates, distorts, pressures, or exploits vulnerabilities for personal purposes may still hold the title of psychologist, but they are no longer acting according to the values that define the profession.
The difference between guidance and manipulation is not always obvious from the outside. Yet it is a difference that can profoundly shape the lives of children.
The best psychologists help people find their own voices.
The worst misuse their influence to replace those voices with their own.
