when did the apa create the code of ethics
APA Ethics Code The first version was published by the APA in 1953.[1] The need for such a document came after psychologists were taking on more professional and public roles post-World War II.[1] A committee was developed and reviewed situations submitted by psychologists in the field who felt they had encountered ethical dilemmas.[1] The committee organized these situations into themes and included them in the first document which was 170 pages in length.[1] Over the years, a distinction was made between aspirational principles and enforceable standards. Since, there have been nine revisions with the most recent published in 2002 and amended in 2010.[2]
