Chapter 24.Ethics in Psychoanalysis
Sections
Excerpt
Psychoanalysis has a long history of deep ambivalence about ethics, defined as critical reflection about “right” and “wrong” actions and “good” and “bad” character traits and other states of affairs. Ethics differ from morality in that ethics provides arguments on behalf of basic normative standards and decision-making procedures, whereas morality is a more descriptive concept referring to how people do in fact think and behave within particular cultural contexts.
