Psychotherapists may, despite their best intentions, find themselves engaging in ethically problematic behaviors that could have been prevented. Drawing on recent research in moral psychology and longstanding community mental health approaches to prevention, we suggest that psychotherapists can reduce the likelihood of committing ethical infractions (and move in the direction of ethical excellence) by attending carefully to 4 general dimensions: the desire to facilitate positive (good) outcomes, the powerful opportunities given to professionals to effect change, personal values, and education. Each dimension can foster enhanced ethical behavior and personal resilience, but each can also contribute to ethical vulnerability. By recognizing and effectively addressing these dimensions, psychotherapists can reduce their vulnerabilities, enhance their resilience, reduce the risk of ethical infractions, and improve the quality of their work.
治疗师可能会出于善意，而从事本可避免的有伦理问题的行为。借鉴道德心理学的最新研究和长期社区心理健康预防方法，我们认为治疗师可以通过关注以下 4 个一般维度来降低违反伦理规范的可能性（并朝着伦理卓越的方向发展）：促进积极（良好）结果的愿望、专业人员进行变革的强大机会、个人价值观和教育。每个维度都可以促进增强伦理行为和个人适应力，但也可能导致伦理脆弱性。通过认识和有效应对这些维度，治疗师可以降低脆弱性、增强适应力、降低违反伦理规范的风险，并提高工作质量。
