The first ever code of ethics of the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Psychiatrists was promulgated in 1992. In this paper two of the four members of the College's Ethics Committee (which prepared the document) describe the code's provenance and the procedure used to determine its form and content. The code, a milestone in the College's history, reflects its maturity in confronting the many ethical issues with which psychiatrists have to wrestle in contemporary clinical (and research) practice. We hope that our account will assist them to deal effectively with this pivotal aspect of their professional work.
澳大利亚和新西兰皇家精神科医学院的首个道德准则于1992年颁布。在本文中，该学院伦理委员会（负责起草该文件）的四名成员中的两名描述了该准则的起源以及确定其形式和内容所采用的程序。该准则是学院历史上的一个里程碑，反映了其在应对精神科医生在当代临床（和研究）实践中必须处理的诸多伦理问题方面的成熟度。我们希望我们的叙述将帮助他们有效地处理其专业工作的这一关键方面。
