Abstract: Being a theoretical discipline as well as an applied clinical and human science, psychology has an array of ethical, legal, and human rights imperatives and responsibilities that guide its practice. Considering the discipline is integrally involved with human beings, their behaviour, and emotional health, psychology professionals need to be particularly cognisant of and sensitive to the well-being of the individuals and groups they are involved with either directly or indirectly. However, it is questionable whether all psychologists are aware of their responsibilities, accountabilities, and the rights of others.
