This study examines world scientific production in Psychology based on bibliometric indicators (scientific production, production’s percentage variation, average citations per document, normalized citation, impact, etc.), for the period 2003–2008. The analysis is made by country, by research institutions, and scientific journals, using the Scopus (Elsevier), database of scientific literature. The results show that total world production has increased over the period studied. Four groups are acknowledge for each country, institutions, and journals, taking into account their values of scientific production, normalized citation, and subject specialization.

“…The focus of the ethical content analysis was on the determination of the theoretical orientation of the codes (i.e., teleological, deontological and caring) while the functional grammar analysis (Austin, 1962;Farrell & Farell, 1998;Searle, 1969) provided information about the implicit messages in each code. More specifically, teleological (e.g., Griffin, 1986;MacIntyre, 1966;Smart & Williams, 1998) statements provide a rationale (usually in terms of positive consequences or in terms of avoidance of negative consequences) for ethical behaviour, whereas deontological statements focus on the importance of the means rather than of the consequences. Deontology focuses on rules and duties that are prescribed by social, intuitive/reasoned or divine sources (e.g., Brody, 1983;Ross & Malloy, 1999).…”

“…Canadian psychologists have many good reasons to be proud of their code and its educational value despite some questions that require future investigation. The wide appeal of the code is reflected in its having influenced code development in other countries of the world (e.g., Pettifor, 1998; Hadjistavropoulos, 2009) and on the recent adoption of its principles by the International Union of Psychological Science (IUPS, 2008), an organisation representing 72 nations.…”

This article summarizes empirical and theoretical research focusing on the structure and content of the Canadian Code of Ethics for Psychologists (Canadian Psychological Association [CPA], 1986[CPA], , 1991[CPA], , 2000. Functional grammar and content analyses show that, compared to other codes, the CPA code is written in a way that is empowering for the decision-maker. Moreover, it is more likely than other codes of ethics to provide a rationale for ethical behaviour. Preliminary support for the hierarchical organisation of the ethical principles of the CPA code exists but more research is needed to determine if the hierarchy leads to more consistent decision-making in the resolution of ethical dilemmas. Recommendations for future research directions are outlined.

“…Proponents of the CPA Code claim that this code of ethics has a strong theoretical and empirical foundation (Hadjistavropoulos, 2009). Empirical research finds good hierarchical rank agreement of the four principles among pre-professional students and professionals from within and outside the discipline (Seitz & O'Neill, 1996).…”

Hailed as “possibly the best psychologists’ code of ethics anywhere in the world” (Hadjistavropoulos, 2009, p. 4), the Canadian Code of Ethics for Psychologists represents a powerful ethical and professional standard for practitioners of psychology. This ethical code boasts a strong theoretical and empirical basis, prediction and consistency, high educational value and relevance, and an empowering advantage for its users – psychologists. Yet, critical and feminist examinations of the CPA Code have identified problems with the Code, including its underlying structure and values, lack of regard for social justice, and ignorance of human subjectivity. These scholars’ critiques expose the problematic ideology of the CPA Code, throwing into question the ethical implications of this ethical code. Joining this broader project of critical psychology examining the undercurrents and effects of power in the discipline, this dissertation seeks to understand how the CPA Code produces ethical-professional practices and subjectivities. Framing this research within discourse, power, and governmentality or “the conduct of conduct,” I draw on the work of Michel Foucault and Foucauldian-informed psychologists to interrogate the ways in which the “ethical” practitioner is produced by the CPA Code. Further interested to explore the ethical-professional constructions of individuals and groups of people historically marginalized in Canadian society, I also analyze the CPA Code’s supplementary documents Guidelines for Ethical Psychological Practice with Women (CPA, 2007) and the Guidelines for Non-discriminatory Practice (CPA, 2001). This discourse analysis discovers the many dominant and appropriated discourses of the CPA Code, subject positions, as well as the discursive rules reinforcing the discourse practices and subjects. Dominant discourses constructing the CPA Code are science, objectivity, competence, expertise, legal, managerialism, and risk management discourses. Appropriated discourses are critical inquiry, betterment of society, and morality discourses. Sites where discursive rules are reproduced are education and training, licensure and regulation, ethical decision-making, consultation, and misconduct adjudication. Subjectivities of psychologists and clients are discussed. These findings are contextualized within Foucauldian theory and the broader critical psychology literature.
