 Advertising and other public statements are very important for psychologists to deal with. It is very important that you observe all kinds of public statements and advertising very carefully. Let's say if there is going to be any workshop or seminar. So the description of that particular workshop and seminar is very important to look into. Psychologists are responsible to ensure that the advertisement which is describing that workshop, seminar, or other non-degree granting educational program accurately describes the audiences for which the program is intended. The educational objective, the presenters and the fee which is involved. If a psychologist is going to any workshop as a facilitator, then it is his responsibility to see what his audiences are, why he has come to that workshop, what training will be given to him, and after that what will he be able to claim in that outcome. A psychologist, a chartered psychologist is taking very heavy fees and after that he delivers a workshop. At the end of that workshop, a core certificate is being given to that organization, the agency is giving it to the participants that they are certified in neuro-linguistic techniques. And the training of those three days is not making the participants so ample that they can become NLP practitioners. So this is the responsibility of the psychologist that before taking any fee or charges he should see that after the completion of the three or four days of the training can this certification be given or not? Either it would be of one month or two weeks or three weeks, that should be very carefully waged and justified. Then media presentations. When psychologists provide public advice and comment via print media, social media, internet and any other electronic medium, they take precautions to ensure that their statements should must not indicate that a professional relationship has been established with the recipient. There can never be any such statement that a psychologist ethically, publicly cannot give that there is a kind of relationship between the person who is giving statement and about the person whom the statement is being given. So it should not seem that he is trying to save him or that he is trying to protect him. And that individual is standing in such a situation that it is very important for him to give a true assessment to the psychologist. If he is mentally insane and he is trying to save him from declaring that he is insane or not and he is considered insane. Public statements in both situations should be given very carefully and there should be sound, reason, rational and logic behind it and most of all, there should be an ethical practice behind it. Then be consistent with the code of ethics. All the code of ethics that we have been talking about persistently, we have to give that statement while keeping all those code of ethics in mind and based on their professional knowledge, training and experience in accordance to appropriate psychological literature and practice. Sometimes this is very important to see that whatever statement is being given, whether the background is being attached to any psychological literature or not. Or you are giving such a statement in your scenario where there is no theoretical relevancy. So this is very much important to see that what are being the past practices, what is the available knowledge. There should be no gap between that. Whatever statement you want to give, that should be justified according to your clinical practice. Then testimonials is another important thing which we see that nowadays that people seek testimonials from different individuals just to gain popularity and just to give fame and to give good name to themselves. They publicly appear themselves as that they are getting a lot of positive testimonials. But psychologists, these testimonials cannot be taken from their clients and their therapy individuals. Like you just can't say anyone that just give me one positive testimonial about myself. For example, we say to review someone on LinkedIn, to review someone on social media, to read reviews about an organization. We cannot forcefully take these testimonials from our clients and our employees because of their particular circumstances that they are vulnerable to undue influence. If they are working with you or if they are part of some therapy then maybe because of that influence they will give you a positive testimony. In-person solutation Psychologists do not engage directly and through agents in uninvited in-person solutation of business from actual or potential therapy clients or other persons who because of their particular circumstances are vulnerable to undue influence. In the same way, we cannot directly or indirectly be involved with such people who will give you any kind of fame just because they are under influence to you either in terms of your business in terms of any kind of dealing or if we are a part of a big umbrella network and we say let's say we just name it that the house of happiness is an organization let's say I am just naming it and under that a lot of people are working in the house of happiness so you just give promotion to your business to your work, to your workplace by providing false testimonials of the clients which is a very good institution. This is very unethical to do that either for your one personal self or either for the workplace and business where you are involved in working. However, this prohibition does not preclude you attempting to implement appropriate collateral contacts where in your society in different sectors you collaborate with them and with whom you work they are giving you a positive and good repute and a good statement then this is justified for the purpose of benefitting for already engaged therapy and clients and patients if someone is sending a client to you that he is doing a very good job you are coming to him his experts are very good so this is something else and community outreach activities if already there is a crisis in the community or community outreach programs or natural disasters there is a good name that they are doing a good job engage them so this is also correct that a positive name is already being provided good services so this is justified in this situation we will not do that this is an unethical way but we will consider it as a good positive and an ethical practice
