On two kinds of “recipients” of professional actions undertaken by psychologists

Journal Title: Roczniki Psychologiczne - Year 2013, Vol 16, Issue 4

Abstract

In the article, the author introduces a distinction between two types of recipients: individuals (insti­tutions) seeking the assistance of a practitioner psychologist, and practitioner psychologists, who use the results of the work of research psychologists in order to make their assistance ethical and effective. The article stresses the role of methodological awareness (as important as ethical aware­ness). The the central idea of the paper is R. Rosenthal's thesis: "Bad science makes for bad ethics."
