Abstract

The article offers a reflection on the importance of maintaining firm ethi-cal values, as a guide and base for our professional practice, not only when we face to problematic situations that strongly impact us, but also in our daily work with our patients / clients.

The authors emphasize that professional practice promotes personal well-being only if it is included responsibly and consciously in a (reference value framework). reference frame of values.
In the community of Transactional Analysts, the EATA Ethical Code is a valid support in order to build "bridges" between the knowledge of prin-ciples and values and the choices of therapeutic practice .
Through the proposed considerations and guided reflection, the reader can receive stimuli to increase awareness of his “moving ethically” and to widen the options regarding operational choices.
