Abstract

Psychology is committed to the principle of nonmaleficence (i.e., do no harm). Yet the discipline’s past failures and its current selective allyship with only some crises paint a problematic picture. The authors argue that psychology as a discipline and psychological associations as its representatives should better uphold their ethical responsibility. Psychology is committed to the principle of nonmaleficence. This Comment argues that psychology as a discipline and psychological associations as its representatives should uphold their ethical responsibility
