These guidelines are designed to educate psychologists and provide a framework for making decisions regarding professional record keeping. State and federal laws, as well as the American Psychological Association's "Ethical Principles of Psychologists and Code of Conduct," generally require maintenance of appropriate records of psychological services. The nature and extent of the record will vary depending upon the purpose, setting, and context of the psychological services. Within these guidelines, more directive language has been used when a particular guideline is based specifically on mandatory provisions of the Ethics Code or law. However, some areas are not addressed in those enforceable standards and regulations. In these areas, more aspirational language has been used. This document aims to elaborate and provide assistance to psychologists as they attempt to establish their own record keeping policies and procedures.
这些指南旨在教育心理学家，并为制定有关专业记录保存的决策提供一个框架。州和联邦法律以及美国心理学会的《心理学家伦理原则与行为准则》通常要求保存心理服务的适当记录。记录的性质和范围将根据心理服务的目的、环境和背景而有所不同。在这些指南中，当特定指南具体基于《伦理准则》或法律的强制性规定时，使用了更具指导性的语言。然而，有些领域在那些可执行的标准和法规中并未涉及。在这些领域，使用了更具理想性的语言。本文档旨在详细阐述并在心理学家试图制定自己的记录保存政策和程序时为他们提供帮助。
